| A ROAD MORE TRAVELED |
| I walk the road of loneliness The one paved with heartache and despair. As I walk along in the darkness I couldn't help but wonder, "Who else has traveled here?" The roadside itself is littered With lonely souls and broken hearts. The leafless branches of the trees Cling onto the empty promises That tore these worlds apart. Ahead I thought I saw a cloud of dust But instead it was The Cloud Of Confusion. And, when I thought I saw a guiding light It merely turned out to be an illusion. As I walked along and passed these souls I wondered what their stories might be. Could that one there be one of forsaken love, And that other be one of forsaken harmony? I saw one that was from giving too much love Next to one that didn't give enough. I saw another that gave too many broken promises Entangled with one that could no longer trust. I saw one that was obsessed with money Trying to leave the one that could never make enough. There was one who just wanted the most romantic passion Dying with one who was only after lust. I chose this road for the simple fact Of my own distraught and dismayed past. A past of loves I thought would be eternal But in truth they did not last. As I stood before these two roads I thought of my world and how it became unraveled. I reflected upon these memories And proceeded along a road more traveled. |
