The Lonely Path

In the middle of the road
I stood watching, it was like a mirage
So near yet so far
Out of reach
The void
The emptiness
When you walked away

The place so deserted
Where you left me unguarded
The journey back was quite a walk
Quiet
Dry
With grass overgrown
I was lost and I couldn't trace
A spring to quench my thirst
My survival threatened

I hoped you would look back
and consider
I saw you disappear
With no trace
Blind with tears
Alone.

The mirage like vapor

I knew i had myself

Just me

To find a safe haven

Towards freedom

The protection 

I deserve
