I Only Feel Alive Poem by Stuart Logan

Sleeping in the car,
Lover by my idle side.
Sunset in the far,
Not worried about the ride.

Open hearts, both reeling,
For eternity we strive.
She asks me how I'm feeling,
I say 'I only feel alive.'

Stresses left behind us,
Champagne love on ice.
Not as romantic to take the bus,
It's just us, and it feels nice.

Fear has never touched our minds,
And love fills both our hearts.
The metal gears, in the car, they grind,
I ignore all my smarts.

Open hearts, both reeling,
For eternity we strive.
She asks me how I'm feeling,
I say 'I only feel alive.'

Driving down the highway,
Only a few clicks left to go.
I want her so very badly now,
But we said wed take it slow.

Open hearts, both reeling,
For eternity we strive.
She asks me how I'm feeling,
I say 'I only feel alive.'

Driving on the night black road,
A car swerves in our lane.
All I see is our car fold,
Like cardboard in the rain.

Open hearts, both reeling,
For eternity we strive.
I ask her how she's feeling,
'Not for long, but still alive.'

I carry her from the totaled car,
And lay her head upon my lap.
The distance she is now away, so far,
Blood dripping like a tap.

I lay upon the twilight road,
Tears and blood mixing on my cheeks.
I see the pearly gates of white and gold,
No longer caring if my eyes now leak.

Open heart, still reeling,
To eternity we arrive.
She asks me how I'm feeling,
I say 'I only feel alive.'
