The shards fell through as if I was clear,
but then, I didn't care.
You see me though, in the dark but you,
you are gone, you are not there.
The cold of the road and the road away from you
going toward the unknown.
The sliding wheels and the approaching trees,
autumn leaves in the wind blown.
Tears like rain, salty and sweet
and a single petal fell from the rose.
to land alone by your sodden feet,
No more will our hands together close.
