Me? In A Red Corvette?

When you told me the story
I could see the fire in your eyes.
How do you live with those memories?
How do you push all that
to the back of your mind
and move to another land

of what happened to you,
to your family who you left behind –
dead in the city which was once your home

but a world where I belonged
