Runway

He drove to where he’d seen her last
Upon the darkened runway there;
Amid the fog and lights that day
That now have turned to night

The dreams he had, she didn’t share,
Because she dreamed of someone else:
He doesn’t know which way to go
And sees no runway light

To tell him how to find a heart
That’s vanished in a broken dream.
He wishes he could fly away
To where he would forget

But memory is all he has
And so he sits beside the way
That led her to her paradise
And left him here
To rue
The day
