Hateful Ride

Hate radiates from the old man like a potbelly stove...

And he silently drives down the road...

I'm lost in my own tortures as we ride back to where I sleep...

I regretfully still love you... There are no secrets I can keep...

Your hateful ghost still drifts through my mind...

I am finally free, yet smothered and confined...

The old man glares and almost vomits disdain...

Only a matter of time until I'm thrown out in the rain...

The bus ride is peaceful, yet I dread the ride from there...

One of us is going in the ground soon. Which one? I really don't care...
