    Driving Her Out of My Mind


    Looking through the window of this rolling
    automobile.
    I've traveled a million miles, but I can see
    her still.
    I see her in the mirror, on the billboards that
    I pass.
    I see her on the postcards, evrytime I stop
    for gas.
    I can never outrun her memory, it finds me
    everytime.
    That's why I just keep driving, driving her out
    of my mind.
    To the corners of the continent, to the oceans
    deep and blue.
    But I always have to turn around, what's a
    broken man to do?
    Another town, another road, an endless ribbon
    of black.
    Everytime I close these tear filled eyes, I know
    she's coming back.
    Coming back to haunt me, a peaceful place is
    hard to find.
    That's why I just keep driving, driving her
    out of my mind.
    I don't know where I'll be tomorrow, if I make
    it through today.
    But one thing I know for sure, I'll find her
    along the way.
    In the rainbow after the thunderstorm, in the
    puddles by the road.
    Every mile, every turn, she's everywhere I go.
    So these wheels will just keep rolling, until
    I find the end of these lines.
    And me, I'll just keep driving, driving her
    out of my mind...

    RD, What a powerful poem of a woman who can never really leave you! ginga

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
