You fell asleep
In my backseat
You slept
So soundly, I thought death had come
I counted all the suns
I was at fifty-one
But you
Made it fifty-two
And my
Headlights will shine
The night surrounds us
So sleep
Maybe
We could be
What I hope
You see
You woke with a grin
Told me fondly of him
I caved
Driving the everglades
And so we sit
With silent lips
We slept
So soundly, I thought death had come
With my
Hands on the wheel
Steering us clear
Of cracks in the road
And we
Can still be
What you thought
We were
So sleep
Sleep with me
This empty road
Holds only trees
Let's drive
Close your eyes
Just let things be
And watch the stars with me
