I can see you fading away
in my rearview mirror…
With dead leaves
and empty dreams
swirling at your feet.
And as I grip the steering wheel
I can only wonder…
Is this the last lonely image of you
I’ll forever hate to keep?

This one deserves some high praise. You took that rearview idea and really added to it. Loving this part:
“With dead leaves

I love the way you mix an image through the rearview mirror with the perspective of being in the driver’s seat – understanding that being in the driver’s seat really doesn’t provide any more control than being the one left behind
