I looked straight ahead.. the road long, lone and dreary,
I grew weary, the swirling sand rose and made my eyes teary.
His engine next to me was steady, I walked and quickened my pace,
And gazed into the endless stetch of street that I faced.
He Said "Get back in the car," But there was no way I'd listen,
A tear streamed my dusty face and the moistened path glistened.
The sun setting, my shadow cast in front of every step,
I walked and stared, wouldn't even glance at him to my left.
Leaning out his window he summoned for me a last time,
I ignored, he hit his breaks and reversed like rewind.
He tore in the other direction, I heard him speed off behind me,
All of the sudden I was alone, I touched my forehead to remind me,
And as my fingers absorbed the blood, I took a look around,
Not one person was in sight, not one car and not one town.
Then I wanted to turn around, and scream for him to come retrieve me,
Cuz even though we had been fighting, I didn't think he'd actually leave me.
But I pushed myself forward, The road grew dark and more unknown,
I had to be strong, I had to be brave, and I had to do it alone.
Cuz getting back in his car would have been just as scary,
I cant trust the man now that I once wanted to marry.
I envisioned his yelling and his eyes, like black beads,
The way his grip was so hurtful and my inaudible pleads.
It would have been so much easier to do what he said,
get back in the car, and ride the way home instead.
My legs were now aching, I was starting to strain,
But i knew that this torture would prevent future pain.
Don't get back in his car, don't get back in his life,
I'll grieve now but this will be the last of my strife.

It's been long, but come the dawn, my destination is near.
I won't have to depend on him and I won't have to live in fear.
Everytime I reconsider, Ill remember everything I hate about him,
Ill do whatever it takes to prove that I can make it without him.

I was so violently derailed, yet I got back on the same track,
Well this time I'm moving forward, God give me the strength to never look back..
