Love Poem: Love Songs

Love Songs

You only ever play
love songs when
I'm sitting in this car. 

We've been so many
places; I've seen
you near and far. 

But no matter where
we travel to I must 
confess you've set the bar. 

Because no other
boy has tried to woo me,
or even seen my scars. 

And there you sit with
quiet attitude and
thoughts wading through thick tar.  

This love has brought me
to my knees; this 
fire left me charred.  

And still you fill my heart
to bursting when you
play love songs in this car.
