The Lonely Road

Lights on the cars startle me as they whiz by to their hurried destinations. The summer night air is warm and the pale stars seem to be begging for anyone to notice them . As I walk along I can't help but notice the blue glow coming from inside each house I pass. Somehow it makes me feel more alone, somber with no past ,no future I am only here at this moment . The night casts strange shadows not only within the trees but within myself . How did I arrive at such a lonely place, what path ultimately lead me here ? The realization runs a chill up my spine. Not for my life present but for all I desired to be This darkness is within as well. Devouring me or maybe I wish it would. May it be so. Forgotten or perhaps never known in the beginning, yes that is my wish. Looking toward the heavens I begin to pray, let it be so Remove me from all that is ,was and will be . Erase my very existence I have nothing. I am nothing. I have failed you. Waiting for a reply,perhaps in vain, only rain
