The Highway

The Highway 

  

  

  

Stranded along the road
That never turns
And runs endlessly
To Mundane's abode. 

Stranded with baggage
Resting on top
And on the inside;
Lots of it. 

Too cautious to turn
I travelled endlessly
Headed on treaded paths
Bye-passing temptation. 

Too wary to trust
I walked alone
Epitome of courage
Cloaking exhaustion. 

And here I am
Stranded on this highway
Gazing into the windows
Of fancy cars and trucks
Looking for you
Ready to take a chance
For once with you
Won't you come to me now?
Why don't you....
