Infinite Road To Nowhere

I feel like you are at the finish line of my fifty mile race, but no matter how fast I run I cant keep up the pace. The road seems to get longer with every step I take, my engine is running but my foot's on the brake. You begin fading in the distance I can hardly see your face I'm afraid to stop moving, scared to never feel your embrace. I'm running out of breath my legs are getting weak, when I open my mouth, no words can I speak. I'm terrified you'll disappear and the road will as well, leaving me with no path to choose all I am left with is this hell. Why wont u run towards me is this another test? My legs are shaking my body needs rest. I must go on, I must keep moving I can't let you get away my love is what I am proving. If I can just get close enough maybe I can get you to stay; even if not forever, at least for another day? I feel like I'm taking a test with no pencil eating soup with no spoon pushing a wagon with no wheels viewing a night sky with no moon. You could meet me half way or acknowledge me with a wave let me know I'm not wasting my time give me that last push so i can be brave. I'm at my breaking point I can no longer run; you didn't move a muscle, but this race you've won. I knew the moment the whistle blew it wouldn't be easy getting to you I knew it would be hard and I would get sore but I was willing to bear the pain for the man I adore. I thought I could make it but my body is trumping my mind just incase you saw me coming I'll leave a trail of my blood for you so I am easy to find.
