Poem
A long slab of gravel paved with regret Mile markers on each side Broken dreams merged with infinite possibilities On the road I leave behind Stranded in the driveway I look in the rear view mirror to find Infinite entities in an alternate reality It’s the beginning of the road I leave behind Through a shadowing abyss I will emerge from the pits that hide All the remorse deep down is what I regret now There, on the road I leave behind I believed we were invincible Now there’s broken bridges we can’t mend How could we be so susceptible? I never imagined this road would end With every step towards the door I long for something much more Than crimson tides that take me on a ride Down…the road I leave behind I hear the freedom calling my name I don’t know if I can resist it this time There’s a definite chance that I might dance In the middle…of the road I leave behind Ever thud I hear echoing on the pavement Of the broke down highway of my life I feel so empty looking ahead at eternity Lining the sides…of the road I leave behind There are two sides of a coin and two sides of me I finally learn to walk down a straighter line I find the other me across an alternate reality On each side…of the road I leave behind It’s something so undeniable I’ve got so much to loose I find it so unconceivable Now that I have to choose What would I be if a stay But how can I walk away Will we still be friends when our family ends? A fire burns high…down the road I leave behind Tears and dust from broken dreams and rust Bitter traces of a man who can’t bend Now that I’ve come to the end Busted flat and broke down…on the road I leave behind I can’t live with… I can’t go back down… Better walk away from the road I might leave behind
