Hit and run May 2012

 

 We all need the same thing,

To be connected to her,

 the validation that we

mean something,

while I feel the way

road kill might,

long after the car

that ran me down

is long gone,

stuck with the vain hope

she might have lingering feelings

 as she glimpses me

in the rearview mirror

neither of us certain

just who rode over whom

her screams from that night,

 her report on her

standing on the edge of a roof,

 haunting me,

 evidence to suggest

 she is not the cold-blooded

 hit and run driver

I might paint her out to be,

and if she flees,

It is because

She thinks she is the one

Who got run over
