Road to Life

Walking on a road to nowhere with you.
The road started to fade.

I look over to you.
You start to fade.

I reach for you.
You move farther away.

I look down to see
There’s no more road.

You keep going.
I stop completely.

I bring my hands to my face
To hide the follow of tears.

I peek through my fingers
To see the last of you.

It was the end.

I start to walk back to the beginning
To do it all again.

Midway, I stop to ponder
What if I follow?

I shake my head
As if to stop the voices.

The voices told me to walk back
I rebelled.

I turn and run away
From the orders, the hypnotist.

I ran after life
To catch up with you.

I could finally do it.
I could finally live.
