The car read negative seven the other morning - T wasn't very happy with me - she just kept cranking and cranking in the cold weather.
The dashboard began to flash and freak out. And for a brief second, I didn't think she was going to start. The past few winters have been progressively worse on her, and I thought finally this would be the year I could keep her in the garage during the winter but that didn't happen. God bless the man I saw on the side of the road early that morning that appeared to be changing his tire in a wife-beater, shorts, and tongs. I was cold just seeing it! Sometimes I’ll lie awake at night and listen to the sound of the clock. The motor ticks on endlessly. What an unsettling sound it is when you’ve yet to find peace - to find solace. Sometimes no matter how exhausted my body is, no matter how tired my thoughts are, no matter how sore my brain and my heart are...even then I still can’t fall asleep. Sometimes I wish for nothing more than to sleep. Please, allow me to slip away into the darkest corners of the world and let me be. Just let me sleep. You can close your eyes to the surroundings, but you can’t close your ears off to the sound around it. And sometimes the things you wish the most not to hear - are the loudest. They will not go away in the night and be silenced. Stay safe out there && as always, I appreciate ya! Comments are closed.
