Down The Road To Nowhere Poem by Kim Schilling
Down The Road To Nowhere
Down the road to nowhere –
You found me walking there,
Battling my demons and darkness;
A promise of love you offered,
Your age and wisdom revered,
I took your hand and trusted.
Arduous were the days and nights –
As we struggled to have needs met,
You, incapable of seeing past yourself.
Promises broken and fears realized,
Yet determined to overlook it all;
For the sake of love just out of reach.
Many, many years have passed –
It’s eerie in these long dark halls,
As we pass each other silently.
Nothing in common, but him;
Beautiful young child of innocence,
Mindful of the coldness about him.
He hears you berate me, bully me.
Dominated and controlled by anger,
Your words sting like a viper’s bite.
How many times do I plead?
While together, we fall separately
Back down the road to nowhere.

Unlike you I cannot find the words to express the sheer human depth of this poem. Bob Blackwell below is right though, this does not have to be the end of your story. You can't win them all they say, but you can still win. Excellent write. humanity is your canvass.
Very touching, a beautiful expression Shanmugam Chettiar
Kim, this poem is well written and deserves a ten for that, but I sense a sadness in you which you must overcome. Omar Khayyam said: The moving finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Whit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it. Bob
