driver's confession

by Emily Davidson

yesterday, about 5pm
i finally gave in

while behind the wheel i could feel
the weight in my ribcage
the yearning behind my eyes
and
i cried there, on the road
the tears creeping down under my chin,
my endless solitude beating the drum
of my heart

it's been months now
since i've seen you and although
it is no surprise
it was so liberating to finally admit
that i miss you

Misty eyed and sentimental but definitely a "liberating" writing.
