does it say hold on for your dear life
we grab the bridle and dig our heels in
bouncing around as it kicks and spins
you sit in the diner--it's near midnight
you can see the damnedest sights
stirring your coffee trying not to stare
at what's in here or hiding out there
we can never quite let go
holding on till hell freezes over
witticism only takes you so far
miles roll fast when you're in your car
the bitter tolls and burdens of sins
the fences we build that keep us in
begging to be misunderstood
as you turn your back and leave for good

The first poem I have read that was written in this form...I liked it a lot...reminds me of my last relationship
nicely done...
