The Ultimate Road

Before me

Lies a road

Many have before traveled

And now

Comes my turn.

Regardless

Of activities

In which

I may be engaged;

Swinging

Around a dancefloor

In the arms

Of a handsome new friend,

And positive

The night

Would last forever,

With no thought

For the day

To come,

I could never

Have imagined

There would be

No more,

That the last drop

Of liquid

To brush by my lips

Would truly be

My last

With no chance

Of one more

For the road.

Had I known,

I would have fortified it,

Imagining

The long,

Uncharted road

That lay ahead.

Uncertainty.

Fear.

Lack of control.

Waiting for peace

And comfort

On this long,

Dark,

Lonesome highway,

Where I wander,

Stranded.
