cue the sunset

in the darkness
waiting down
the road,
and running alongside
your window,
tired eyes roam
in search for
a sight
- a face -
to rest on

you blink slowly,
careful not to spill
the tears
pouring down
your throat
as the darkness
wraps around
your view

a sunset
caught in the eye

and so
you close them -
to dream
of dreamless nights
