Classic '94 chevy,

New beginning in a woren leathe,

Twenty years of hollow heavy roads,

Tear stained air from weathered dreams,

Shattered love story the car holds,

They finally drove.

 

Auction out metal desire,

A few thousand to settle your malotic need,

Still in her tragic seats,

Caress the dash board outliner,

Engine spurring chaoticly,

Drive your new history home.

 

Twenty years later,

Buckling down on its overused engine,

Paint peeling off the hinges and six different owners,

It catered to their melodramatic lives,

No one fixed broken partsof the chevy--

Like when it saved the passengers,

They all went home to different strangers.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

It is for sure first time I read a poem about a Chevy, or a car in general and I really liked it; 'It catered to their melodramatic lives', the description and the meaning you gave to the car with every verse! Good one.

I really like the feeling it portrays and the message. Not sure about the rythmn, the first stanza is really good tho, and good word choices.
