There’s a road
That will take you
Clear across town,
But it’s not the main road,
As you may think.
It starts as
An innocent pathway
You might even consider
A dead end,
But bursts into the unknown
As it gains more of your trust.
With each passing mile,
The control over your senses
Is taken;
Your will to resist
Is deteriorated.
The sights are amazing, however.
It’s strange
How you thought you knew
Every part of town.
This has come
As quite a surprise
To someone
Who has lived his entire life
Here.


I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe until you're resting here with me...

You lead the reader gently along this.....soft and reflective.  Nice job!

To capture and live a moment is truly living

Snowpants,
I know that road very well. Great write, you are a real gem.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

This could be as simple as a hidden road, never taken in a real town, or a metaphorical road of life, either way, it holds the same point, and it's a great one!
Enjoyed the read  

With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..
