Lee Degnan - It Was My Time

ears ringing
it's all drowned out anyway
from the hum of my car
as it accelerates,
to the constant
playback
of the last time we spoke

eyes stinging
like salt in a wound
I can't see the road because
tears do that I guess
yet I push my car
to go faster
salvation
by racing away from reality

heart leaping
as all shuts down around me
I'm no longer gripping the wheel
or this life
I've wanted done
closure
I've so sought, so is found

Lee Degnan
