I remember the night

I drove straight through

At two AM

I fought exhaustion.

So when a woman

flagged me down.

I stopped to assist.

A ride she wanted.

Then proceeded to share

how in a hurry she too

drove through the night.

She spoke of the sorrow her parents

would forever know.

Pull over, dear friend.

Don’t drive to exhaustion.

Arrive at your destination.

Don’t end up like me,

cursed to walk this road

a phantom of the night.
