Cruising
Wind in every follicle
Warm then cold.
Light reflects from between
Lips then pierced.
Sparkle gazing out
Window then dull inside.
Thrilling ride on the streets
No one sees within.
Every color in the sky
Beautiful then dark.
Silence is without
Words unspoken then unleashed.
Surrounding clamor deafens
No one hears within.
Our hearts beat
Slow then fast.
Thrown back and forth
Malice then resentment.
Unable to wear the shoes
He doesn’t feel within.
