Life's Highway Emptied Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Streets of loneliness bite this mind with their stark
emptiness and forlorn dispositions, wavering through
the night, life fading, not wanting to be alive through
the mourning of another day without you by my side.

Silent and somber, noticing details of our lives that
have now ended in tears of death, walking nowhere, seeing
nothing, life's highway emptied of us and our love, where
has life taken us I wonder.

Where are the promises we've made to one another, it seems
they amount to nothing at all as I exist now without you,
my dear, seeing the ghosts of our past in memories of what
we used to have.

Stretching out before us in forsaken dreams that will never
be awakened by either of us again, missing you my darling, not wanting to go on any longer, yet I must for now.
