my heartstrings strung
tight, stretched with you
on the road, leaving
somewhere in the sinking
light, headlights illuminate
grey ribbons of road
tires eating up
asphalt, spinning
distance between us
I never knew a heart
could be so elastic
I'd been told stories
of heartbreak, shattered
remains, yet I stand
whole-hearted
each beat a revelry
a dance for love.
