driving down the highway of my life
long, ever-winding, one lane in one direction
no destination in mind, simply driving for the sake of it
a crack in the roadway appears,
and before i can react, a chasm opens
deep, bottomless pit of despair...
its' gaping maw reaches for me,
to swallow me completely
its' growl almost a song,
a promise of no pain, no loneliness, no worries
as i gaze into the depths before me,
i see the faces of those left behind
though there aren't many, they pull me back,
a i realize i do not wish to leave them
i edge cautiously, carefully, past the gaping wound
that calls to me in my dream
and i continue on my journey
