The Road


"The Road" 


People pass through my day like cars at a stop light 
They are momentarily there 
Headed on the same path 
But eventually they turn off at one point 
Leaving me once again on my own road 

I find myself jealous that they have passengers 
Parents, children, family and friends 
My car is empty 
My company kept is songs tied to memories 
Songs that fade further into yesterday 

It's as if I am behind the wheel of a hearse 
Driving alone 
With death being the only hitchhiker I am sure to find
