A Lonely Road

[KICKBACK]

A lonely road in front of me,
A lonely road behind,
These scars of love are my identity,
But still she's on my mind,

A lonely road is travelled alone,
Is what is always said,
This lonely road will be my home,
But still she's in my head,

A lonely sky spreads out above,
The rain: it's way to cry,
I cannot stand what they call love,
Why won't this feeling die?

I know sometimes that love won't fail,
What's happened is in the past,
But to me, love is just a fairy tale,
And forevers never last.

To me this poem is about a man afraid, or weakened by a girl he loved. he's afraid to embrace the love he had, instead he resents it. the man wants to be alone. he thinks there's only one way, hopefully he loves it.

the last stanza makes it seem as if there's a glimmer of hope for the guy. that he will soon be able to see the exit sign and take the offramp. putting himself back out there, where the people are.

I liked the poem, it does seem simple to me. Not much to go on as far as imagery. It's like I got the gist of the poem (heartbreak, lonesome), and that's okay. I think the last two lines of the poem are the real subject of the matter, though. And there was no real good lead to those last two lines.
