I Never Made It Across

I never made it across There are cracks in the pavement everywhere I walk. The road goes up and down and up. I don’t have the strength to continue to talk. Neither do I have the will to be strong enough. I am loves survivor, walking alone, Staring at people that I just don’t know. They see a man who is down on his luck. I see my reflection and I don’t want to look. I didn’t used to be this broken, But love breaks the heart into a thousand pieces. I no longer think of words never spoken, Because all that would cause is misery. I wander along, wondering about… No direction, no compass, no hope. I live alone, with no way out, Of this Hell I call life…The only life that I know. (C)2019 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
