The Night Before

As the clouds grip the sun we speak
Only of unimportant things
Avoiding the one thing on our minds
Why on earth are we here?
Driving on an endlesss road
Bumping, falling, dying
Father and daughter, but no emotion
Genetics don't create 'Love".
How could I give a damn about you?
As the clouds wisk away the sun
We speak of things we think are important
Like college and insurance
Even having a family of our own
But we of course avoid what's really
ON OUR MINDS
What brought us here?
Not the cars, our minds perhaps...
Somehow I needed to know
Was I ready?
If I was then why do I question?
Maybe because we are both pathetic fools.
As the clouds dissappear and reveal the stars
I'm now on your porch
But really in my bed, remembering those times
Back then
Feeling like my world is missing
But you're certainly not my world
Maybe I feel my world is missing
Because I'm not the girl I knew
The night before.

Very nice poem. I appreciate how you are confronting something that needs to be confronted, but that is very uncomfortable. You do a great job of showing the subtle ways people communicate without really communicating. And you also touch on a problem that many people have with their parents, mainly that something gets in the way of us really knowing each other.
Be True,
