Road trip

I’ve spent too much time
Waiting at this stop sign
Hoping life would let up on me

I’ll have to edge out
Betting I have enough clout
Noticed by someone hopefully

It is a shame
But I have no one else to blame
Only me myself and I

For I put too much faith
That you won’t be late
I don’t want to wait without knowing why

Lifespans do end
It’s coming I don’t know when
Like everyone I can only pretend
That I can journey on without you my friend

Thought I met you when we were kids
Knew I was wrong moved away you did
I’ve been looking again ever since

Thought I found you in college
Yet you did not acknowledge
My presence without any evidence

Thought I could find you at the workplace
But now I know that was a mistake
We make money not to make friends

Now it’s years down my timeline
Always stuck at stop signs
Hoping my journey to you will end

Following my own road
No more gas to be sold
I think I can pass up a few more stops

But the world wears on me
I can’t find connectivity
My soul losing your signal that soon will drop

Lifespans aren’t meant to last forever
Looks like we won’t get together
Though I tried to make it on my own
I must abandon the trip to call someplace home
