Rear View Mirror

A shade of pantone green three sixteen
Showed up in my rear view mirror

It's my old flame again,  re-creating a car chase from our favourite film

Leave me alone,
Let me drive and dream about sharing this ride with somebody new

Change your lane and stop flashing me
Pull aside and let me be

Our gear got stuck dont you remember
As I threw your ring in the Thames last December

I'll horn you!
Or drive the wrong way 
Crash my heart into a passing lorry, what do you say?

Oh now you speed up 
Your still so controlling!

I prefer the slow lane where theres no need for swerving.

Living on this road now for fifteen years
Finally she wakes up to all my tears.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Sometimes you don't know what you got, till what you got is your self, and no one else. Good write!
