Unlike Me

My hands shake

So unsteady

I grip the wheel

Tighter

The sun

Is blinding

But not more

Than my heartache

Tear me apart

Dissect me to find

The raw places

The broken bones

You leave me there

Uncared for

You leave me there

Unloved

And now I'm so

Unlike myself

My hands quake

Tires screech on asphalt

And I blink through

The tears
