This road is long and bleak
desolate featureless sparse
It’s not bright and sunny
It’s not a two-way road
It’s a one way road
and at the end
is the end

It’s how you look at it
is what they say
But the way I see it
this road
is cold

I figure at this point
there is no point.

Tears needle the eyes
And thread down the cheeks

straps cutting into my skin
a burden
I didn’t know I chose

every step
is a step
toward oblivion

Walking down the cold road
waiting for nothing special to happen

Where did I take a wrong turn?
Laughing at myself
because it’s the only other sound
I can still make

There are others
lost inside this blackness
but we can’t touch each other
Trapped like a you-know-what
in you-know-what

Tear open the skin on my chest
showing the diseased machinery
where my heart used to be

We’re all running out of time
or should I say "walking"?
Walking out of time.

Tears spring and freeze in autumn sunshine

The road is long
and every so often
I fall

Collapsing
into another
fitful sleep
where my dreams trick me
into believing in a world
that could only exist
in a dream

God did not answer my prayer last night
Because I woke up again today.
