Down the road to nowhere – <br />You found me walking there, <br />Battling my demons and darkness; <br />A promise of love you offered, <br />Your age and wisdom revered, <br />I took your hand and trusted. <br /> <br />Arduous were the days and nights – <br />As we struggled to have needs met, <br />You, incapable of seeing past yourself. <br />Promises broken and fears realized, <br />Yet determined to overlook it all; <br />For the sake of love just out of reach. <br /> <br />Many, many years have passed – <br />It’s eerie in these long dark halls, <br />As we pass each other silently. <br />Nothing in common, but him; <br />Beautiful young child of innocence, <br />Mindful of the coldness about him. <br /> <br />He hears you berate me, bully me. <br />Dominated and controlled by anger, <br />Your words sting like a viper’s bite. <br />How many times do I plead? <br />While together, we fall separately <br />Back down the road to nowhere. <br /> <br /> <br />http: //allpoetry.com/poem/4549553<br /><br />Kim Schilling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/down-the-road-to-nowhere/
