one restless night
turning in this tired bed
chasing elusive sleep
just one more mile
one endless mile
driving this broken vehicle
between white dashes of time
just one more song
one perfectly worded song
filling these deaf ears
with overplayed memories
just one more breath
one jagged breath
entering these shallow lungs
struggling to exhale
just one more tear
one lost, little tear
falling from these swollen eyes
following the river before it
just one more beat
one imploding beat
rousing this bruised heart
reminding me of life
just one more kiss
one frantic, sensual kiss
stolen from this stranger's mouth
then i'll have forgotten you
