West
"It was essential (to pause was to throw herself into unspeakable peril) that she be on the freeway by ten o'clock." -Didion
Drive west, chase sunsets
Don't let the day end here
The red sky reflects your eyes
Filled with angry fear.
Drive west, chase sunsets,
The east in your rearview mirror.
The time for starting new with dawn
Has long since disappeared.
Drive west, chase sunsets
Regrets soak in last rays.
The rising, looming, knowing moon,
Will bring the blues your way.
Drive west, chase sunsets.
When the sun is gone
The only fire that will burn
Will scorch your soul, alone.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
