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.
