one for the road just one for the road the lost promise of love with nothing left to show the sacred truth you lose and never really come to know another one for lost hope and another one last one for the road they’re closing the bar a familiar patron yawns the sun also rises a short time until dawn empty bottle of vodka falls and rolls on the floor dimming neon lights leaving to find a hard liquor store a song we once knew on the radio plays haunting my lost soul more than I can take now paying the toll to cross a dark bridge distant city lights glow I’m staring down from the edge no sound I can hear against the hard falling rain one last step I could take ending all of this pain It’s more than I can bare too full of this load here’s to you my lost love one last one for the road writer's note: he does not jump, he comes back from the edge and goes home...so don't ban the poem, its about lost hope not a lost life....Mark |

Mark, it is a sad post my friend, but indeed a great place to escape and speak from the heart, may love find you, the bottle have less appeal and the edges be fenced, enjoy your day and love to come. Rick |

Hi, Mark! I was pleased to read "he" in your "writer's note".  A sad story ~ well told! In reality, there are many who have one for the road and then end up 'smashed' on it. You are quite the raconteur! Hugs to you! Linda |
