Black Tar Road Page #5

Synopsis: BLACK TAR ROAD is a gritty, dark, love story between two women, Heather and Charlie, who meet at a desolate truck stop. Charlie McElroy (Amber Lee) is a drug mule, who mules drugs for an operation that is run out of an interstate truck stop. After Charlie hangs around town where she meets Heather Plath, (Noelle Messier) a hardened truck stop prostitute who's spent her life in the rural landscape. Few films are more despairing and yet, curiously, so hopeful as this one, which argues that even at the very end of the road, at the final extremity, we can find some solace in the offer and acceptance of love. These women fall in love with each other.

Or what I always wanted to like?

- What?

- That I know who I am again.

And people don't expect much.

It's like my grandmother used to take me

to these dance lessons and I was too young

to even know where I was, or too young

to even understand, and she had

these hopes and these

dreams, and you know,

they're all gone now, but

at least I know who I am.

I never found pain to

be poetic, that's true.

But there is something cleansing about it.

If you can swim through the pain,

and if you walk through

the rain, then maybe,

just maybe, you deserve at

least some time in the sun.

Clean and forgiven.

Maybe it's my fault, that

she just looked so...

She just wanted to do it

one more time, you know.

Just one more.

She was gonna be fine, and I wanted

to make her happy.

I tried.

I tried to wake her up, you

know, I just sat there with her

and I just held her and just shook her.

I never got a chance

to say goodbye to her,

and tell her, I mean,

I told her I loved her,

I did,

many times,

but I just wonder if she

ever really understood

what that meant to me.

She changed my life.

I mean, I was nowhere, I was nothin'.

I couldn't do anything.

I couldn't think of

anythin', and then she came

into my life, this one little bright spot.

She just held me in my arms

and made me feel so special

and so loved, that I...

In spite all of this, it's the best thing

that ever happened to me, I mean,

it sounds absurd that I'm

even f***in' sayin' this,

because it's horrible for this to happen,

but you know, I mean, I felt somethin'

I had ever felt before.

Love is a gift

And this I give to you

Love is the truth

In which I live for you

My heart is twisted inside my chest

I bring your head down

Gently upon my breasts

And I cry

For you

And I die

For you

Would you die for me too

Walkin' down the lonely street, I

Find myself beneath the ground

Things ain't like they used to be, baby

Everything's been turned around

Again

I know what you miss me, brother

A penny saved is a penny earned

It burned

Always been so sweet to one another

Another f***ing lesson learned

And I cry

For you

And I die

For you

And I cry

For you

And I cry

For you

Would you cry for me
