long drives

i built a room for you in the back of my mind

where the ravenous wolves and the ghosts i know reside

you were amazing

you were always on my mind

we were secrets to keep

crows buried side-by-side

but we tasted a kiss that was sent from below

it was cool in the night

i was old as a stone

in the back of a car with a child at heart

who suddenly showed you their teeth

but you say

i'm alright
