For 1 year

I have been walking this road.

With my heart clenched tight

And my mind set blind.

I continued on forever.

For 2 years

I have been limping on this road.

With my arms and legs bruised

And my heart set to choose,

I continued on forever.

For 3 years

I have been running on this road

My breath ragged and sharp

My sanity a weakling hearth

I continued on forever.

For 4 years

I stopped moving on this road.

What am I even doing?

What is it I am losing?

Should I continue on forever?

For 5 years

I've been dragging myself on this road

Ignoring my skin forming to glass

My body losing its mass

I continue on forever.

For 10 years

I've been dying on this road

My body is shattered

My vision has tattered

I can't breathe

Without it hurting so bad.

And I don't even care

Because I know you're not there

Because I've traveled this road

For so many years

And haven't found you

Like you said I would.
