There's a highway leads to nowhere,
I've been there many times.
For miles and miles it stretches
With nary a soul to find.

There's always been an exit
To get me back to town.

Time and time again
To the lost highway I am bound.
And I know the day will come
When no exit will be found.

The road of life has been kind
To me, and gentle by and far.

That lonely road to nowhere-
I'll trod 'til who knows when.
Put my picture in the obit there,
I won't be to work again.

I think this would lend itself well to be set to music. Melancholy and lovely.

Bittersweet and haunting. Your poem seems to be the tale of a poor soul struggling with an addiction. It reads so fluidly. Thank you for sharing this, Rel.
