The gas station glows under flickering lights

The gas station glows under flickering lights,

as shadows pool like spilled regrets,

the scent of gasoline bites, ignites,

a moment where our past quietly sets.


You walked past me, eyes lost in the haze,

words unsaid hung heavy in the air,

nostalgia wrapped tight in a smoke-filled maze,

a bond frayed by silence, a weight we both wear.
