Yesterday I was wandering
the roads on the outskirts of town-
the wrong side; not brave enough to go
where I wanted.

Crossed and wandered as the sky darkened
until the streets seemed chaotic and threatening.
The roar of these deserted streets louder then
a speeding car; the fumble of my keys and my
confused mind, unable to leave
the sadness behind me
as far as I had walked.

I see before me the
dozens of steps that
lead ultimately to you.
I seem to always be walking them
when it doesn't really matter.

There is a strange foolishness
and vulnerability
in always
seeing signs in street lights
and a strange boy's phrases,
frustrated in my own inability
to read people properly, to somehow piece this life
together.

Feeling that in some strange way I
was walking my life on these lonely roads;
unsure of the distance I have come and how far I must go-
searching for something that continually
draws a blank.
Knowing where I am
yet feeling
lost.

Tonight I sat
on my balcony, turned in your direction
feeling close to you
though I barely know who you are
or why you have come into my life.
Thinking, its okay if you don't even know
I'm alive,
at least we live under the same moon
and the same shadows.

Yesterday;
yesterday, as I walked
the roads
I was thinking mostly of you

and all the roads that we walk in life
which take us in the wrong direction.
