Standing Still

Cutting through the darkest night are my two headlightsTrying to keep it clear, but I’m losing it hereTo the twilightThere’s a dead end to my leftThere’s a burning bush to my rightYou aren’t in sightYou aren’t in sight Do you want meLike I want you?Or am I standing stillBeneath the darkened skyOr am I standing […]
