Does the sun shine in outer space?

Taxi driver 

Drive me to a sweet place

Run the yellow lights hiding in the corners of my mind

Circle the red seas we painted silver

Lose what we had meant to find

White Nikes wearing peaches soaked in salt 

Smiling into sad eyes 

As if the empty reflection wasn’t my fault

Still there were no speedbumps to be found

Save the spotty skin that sometimes got in my way

Their silent stares keeping me sound

 Espressos leaving a stain on every other morning

 Strangers pulling me apart

 Making left turns without the right warnings

 Driver the sweet place has never tasted so good

  

Darling we both know it won’t ever taste the same

 But If I knew how to mend a half-melted heart 

 I would
