"Going Home?"


 

The heat of my tires

 

Was the blood on my hands

 

 

 

The honest words

 

Were the smoking gun  

 

  
  

 

The alone I desired

 

Only garnered suspicion  
  

 

  

 

The friend who was girl

 

Could only be one  
  

 

  

 

The thoughtful intent

 

Had sinister motives  
  

 

  

 

The justifications

 

Could only be snide  
  

 

  

 

The tries for dissent

 

Were colored as callous  
  

 

  

 

For I had a friend

 

that I offered a ride
