I listened to the words you say,
but the syllables ran dry
Content distorted like the rains that smudge the roads
that run upon this bleeding canvas
leading me to this
Lonely Avenue

I've been here before,
entered the door
that took me to these stark,abandoned byways...
Resurgent clouds loom on a low horizon
and ever stalk the streets that take me to this
"Never" land

I've seen this vacant street,
appraising dusty,broken shop windows selling nothing
that line the thoroughfare...

But they are just the words you say
without remorse...

the ones that echo down through ancient portals
portenting a "love" that never lasts
now remembering those pasts
where you muttered that word of words,
the one you'd use without sincerity

All your lies melt between the cracks
there on the road on down the lane...
the way that leads me to the street they call...
Lonely Avenue

If a man has not discovered something he is willing to die for,his life is not worth living.

Martin Luther King,Jr. Detroit,1963

Wow Street I felt the pain here. I too have been wandering down that same avenue so the feelings were fresh for me. Fantastic read.

I've missed reading your works too!
And as always, your simple style of writing exudes so many heartfelt emotions
