The Midnight Run

Driving on the highway late at night, had to rush to get home to write this as it came to me after watching The Wraith

My time is just about up.
I get in my car, turn the ignition
feel it come alive
dimly lit lights telling me my speed
and my track timer, a shaded green
I find the streets, look at the bodies without souls
and penitent bodies wanting a purpose, the armies
of the night watching my every move, listening to what i hear
The Boss on the radio.

My time is just about up
I ride on the highway, the yellow lamp posts illuminate my only path
going steady now, the roads are hardly visible
the moon steps in as a spotlight, following my journey into the night
I feel a rush, I'm on fire, I can taste it,
down by the valley, I see where I am, and look forward to the unknown

My time is just about up. but I want to go back,
but we need to move forward
hold my hand
just sit tight with me and together
we take the midnight run
