Road To Know Where

The never ending road that pains my heart is one I’ll always be traveling on Never ending is the attachment I have to this road, Which will forever be the ground I walk upon She curves, cracks, and molds into what seems like an impenetrable passage Know care she has for the traveler Only a faint glimpse of an escape that will never come. From cobble stone to pavement I continue to journey into an unknown future A journey I’ve known to well and for way to long. I cannot leave for I am attached to this road and I feel this road is attached to me She grants me safe crossing through times I can no longer walk And will leave me stranded when I can no longer find my way A fork in the road that must be traveled both ways by one broken traveler. My strength is warn and the souls of my feet that once gave me strength Are now broken and torn The sprint is now a jog and the jog is now a walk and the walk is now a hobble to My unknown destination Yet attached are we through body and mind and soul Forever straining the remaining beats of my heart Until this road to know where ends I will travel with her And I will remain on the course she has laid before me For I love her and somewhere in the distance I believe she loves me

This is a very well written and heartfelt expressed piece. The words paint a lonely picture. The words seem to flow well.

A strange yet compelling poem, interesting read, not sure I understood what you mean, which is my failing not yours.
