The Aimless Road Poem by Phil Soar

I turned the corner long ago,
and the highway looked ahead
A long and steady aimless road,
where freedom should have led
Instead I drove a thousand miles
and reached a certain place
where moods and empty promises
could not help me save face

I'd taken off at breakneck speed
because I'd had enough
The thought of more of all that doubt
and the way you'd called my bluff
It had made a sudden impact
and filled my mind with grief
I'd set of with the guilt intact
To find welcome relief

The trip was hardly worth it
the doubt just filled the air
Tired and drained, I stopped the car
and tried to settle there
In the hope you would not find me
and drive me more insane
I stared into the countryside
as you drove down the lane

Right then my thoughts and visions
of life without you near
and all the impositions
drew just the faintest tear
I opened up the glove box
took out my glock and then
blew your hatred far away
Then I drove off again
