Taxi

Late night, I call a cab. Headlights scrolling through the dark. Lonely streets reflect my state. Silent sorrow marks my fate. Taxi speeds along the road. Taking me farther from my load. Empty seats beside me now. Where you used to sit somehow. Night ride, goodbye. Farewell to you. Memories fading into view. Lights passing by window's glass. Telling us what time Has passed. Shadows dance across the street. Whispers follow every beat. Your scent lingers in the air. Echoes haunting everywhere. Taxi speeds along the road. Taking me farther from my load. Empty seats beside me now. Where you used to sit somehow. Night ride, goodbye. Farewell to you. Memories fading into view. Lights passing by window's glass. Telling us what time has passed. Darkness wraps around my soul. Pain that never seems to grow cold. Questions ask without reply. Tears fall silently, quietly die. Night ride, goodbye. Farewell to you. Memories fading into view. Lights passing by window's glass. Telling us what time Has passed.
