Headlights

[nammysinclair]

The headlights coming down the highway
Beat against my eyes
And run me over.
Like the look I see in your face
When you walk beside me
All the way there.
The boots you've given me to warm my feet
Are too big to cover me
And leave me colder.
Your momentary touch upon my leg
Aches through my whole body
And does not linger long enough.
