Hitchhiker
So with all this Silence
You might would think
I wasn't here at all.
Echoes of quite desperation
Bouncing off walls
And through vacant hallways.
Summer days filled with
"Forget me not" and
pre-emptive nostalgia.
But now it seems
In your 9 to 5 routine,
I've become just another
Forgotten Factor.
a Weekend Warrior.
a Designated Driver.
Maybe I'm jumping the gun
Or maybe I've already been shot.
But in the meantime,
I'll be sitting here in my quiet,
Dimly-lit bedroom,
In a house filled with solemn silence.
_Travis
