The End of the Road

Inspired by the song by Boys 2 Men.

I thought things would last forever
I didn't think it would end here
At the end of the road
All our memories,
Our laughs,
Our  cries,
Are left at the end of the road
of where we once stood...
No more hugs,
No more smiles,
how did we reach the end of the road?
I thought we cared for one another...
Well I cared for you...
I don't know if you cared for me...
Its unnatural,
You belong with me,
I belong with you,
And our times, at the end of the road
Shows that we need to accept the fact
That we've driven to the end of the road,
And we're hanging off the cliff of love
And there's nothing we can do about it,
But hopefully land in safe grass

Author's Note

I've decided to try something new. I want to add a line of a favorite song into my poems. It's different and I could really use your help... if this is a good idea or not. This title and lines "Its unnatural, you belong with me, I belong with you." is from Boys 2 Men and their song "End of the Road."

I think it's a good idea so long as you give credit to the source. Which is what you have done. With that being said I think you did a good job at making a poem from your favorite song. With you telling us that it was inspired by the song I can see where it is going and how you managed to stay true to the essence of the song. Very good

Love is that thing that makes us do things we often wouldn't do. It can be a wonderful experience. I love the freedom in your words. The chance that sits on the edge.

This is wonderful, so is the imagery.

beautiful imagery, and a strong poem. The idea of weaving a line from a song in is risky, but it paid off :) beautiful work, well done :)

It's sad, the end of the road. Even sadder when we realize we have to turn and go back without the other person. good write
