Road

 

You left me on a corner of a road,

One way was happy, the other was woe.

The only signpost pointing to you,

Was the one thing I couldn’t do.

I didn’t want to face those lonely miles,

Then find you’d greet me with a non-existent smile.

I didn’t want to wear out my shoes,

When I knew that I had everything to loose.

If you knew how far I’d gone,

Would you visit me with love that’s none?

Would you think of the time I took,

To realise I’d run out of luck?

 

I took the other road, away from love,

Hoping heavens would shine above.

A heavy weight stood by my side,

Letting me feel like I should hide.

The road leads to misery,

It wasn’t the lock that fitted the key.

It was more than I could take in,

So I left. Never to be seen.
