in shadows, we drift,
Each day I pass where your journey did end
A torture so mine,
through memories' rift,
Some days I float,
others, I can't lift.
Echo of trucks erase memory of your face,
Wishing for routes,
to escape this place.
Tears blend with rain without a trace,
Your absence a void,
time can't erase.
To forget I just stay in my lane
Avoiding the spot,
brings no gain
Each morning’s drive,
revives the pain,
In the left lane's safety,
keeps me sane.
Did you find peace,
in that final breath?
Loose ends tied,
as you danced with death.
A truck, a moment,
sealed our fate,
Leaving scars,
no time can abate.
Your battle’s end,
a struggle so deep,
Left a driver haunted,
in eternal sleep.
Your choice, a weight,
in my heart, it creeps,
Ashes to wind,
the sea gently sweeps.
In the slow lane of life,
where spirits weep,
I hope you found calm,
a rest so deep.
Every truck’s roar,
your memory it keeps,
In the heart of I-5,
where your spirit sleeps.
