Lonely Road

Here i am a lone soul walking along this lonely road
I dont remember where it started 
I cant see where itll end
all i see is this long empty expanse before me
I started with friends but one by one they vanished till only i remained
just one soul on this lonely road
I come to a fork in the road the cross roads of my life
I dont know if i should go to the right or left
I see you coming from the left
You've been torn and bruised from your choices
Humiliated and hurt by those you trusted
You see me I look at you
Neither speaking but telling our stories with our eyes
I smile at you and hold out my own bruised and dirtied hand
You smile through your tears and take it
We continue down this empty wasteland
Just us two lonely souls 
Till the end or till one disappears?
We dont know but on we'll go till...........
Who Knows?

When the heart travels on a lonely road, it will eventually need to find a fork to be fed. Another strong, yet sad writing. Great job.
