Highway 109

Heres my own "Highway 109" poem! It's kinda wierd though! Please comment THANX!

I drive in my car
As she sits next to me
As life stands normal
But who knows what lies ahead

Listening to music
As the lights flicker on
Seeing the moon rising
But disaster lurks on behind

We talk and laugh
About amusing things of the day
About what we should do tomorrow
But delight is cut off

Off in the distance
A screeching sound is heard
Its out of control
And shes worried

Whats going on she asks
I dont know
And as we stay paranoid
The danger comes closer

A car pulls up next to ours
Two drunken guys smoking
Laughing like theres no tomorrow
Then it rains

In the mist of it all
One looks at her
Saying how shes so fine
I tell him to leave her alone

Back off!
Oh yeah and what!
Then he pulls out a gun
And points it in my face

Put that down!
But then he pulls the trigger
But as drunk as he is
He shot it at the windshield

She falls back in fright
I tell her its okay
So I drive faster
But now they follow

Theyre car slams in ours
Making loud noises
I try to pull over
But they insist on following

The car starts to swerve
And theyre out of control
Stalkers of the night
But I couldnt be more worried

Then they start to shoot at our car
And I keep swerving around
Trying to avoid their bullets
Then I drive rapidly

I look in the rearview mirror
And the driver isnt looking
Hes half dead
And the car crashes in the railing

The oncoming cars
All stop with a screech
One crashes in theyre car
And it bursts into flames

Right now we are in the center
Of the other lane
Shes breathing with great stress
And a truck slams in our car

We are pushed forward
And we both bleed
Not just our blood
But our lives

Then I wake up
And I repeat her name
But theres no answer
She left me

So now I yell at the sky
Wishing it shouldve been me
And alone in the middle of it all
On Highway 109

    Woah. At the beginning - I thought it may turn out a little childish if I'm honest. 'I drive in my car' isn't the most stirking line after all. However the more you read - the more the poem plays out the story and becomes an incredibly sad and meaningful poem. Excellent writing.
