The Road

Silent screams fall on deaf ears
while reaching for you.
She is engulfed in the void
that has replaced miles
trodden down a one way street.

A fork in the road leaves you
left with which way to take.
Reminders of you falling down
her face, as you leave your love
stranded in this desolate place.

She's crawling on skinned knees,
with yearning hands, reaching for you
as you turn and leave her
lost and alone
consumed with regret
living without you
in a past she can't forget.
