I'm Keeping You

Drive
hours endless
humidity sinking into your skin
deep down in your pores
petitioning to leave
to drain and evaporate

you, alone
music at a quiet drone
vast horizons of places
you've wanted to travel
but never alone.

so you stay
stay alone
to whats close and homey
and all too familiar

body aching for discovery
telling you to cross
the invisible fence you've built

but your back here
driving
hours endless
humidity sinking into your skin
deep down in your pores
petitioning to leave
to drain and evaporate
and always remaining
