This Road I Know

This a poem I wrote called "This Road I Know"There's this flash I get often, a fever dreamor a vision of sortsMost times late at nightAnd I haven't found out why, but I know exactly whyI'm on this road, and I hear gravel underneath meand I feel it tooAnd I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I amIt's dark, it's really darkAnd the car is warm, but somehowI can feel how cold the night isI don't know where the road leadsbut I know exactly where it endsYou see, I keep drivingand all I see for the longest while is my headlightsFor an eternity it seemsAnd everything is desolate and emptyand nothing and hopelessI'm lost, but I know where I'm goingI'm safe, I'm warm, I'm drivingAnd I see this small lightA dim one growing bigger and brighterand closer and strongerAnd the closer I get, the more I seeI make out a house with light strewn across ita porch, and carsSome frosted windshields that hadn't been touched for hoursI hear a song, and it's faintAnd I can't make out the name, but I know every wordI feel my feet firstAnd it's cold, and they're crunchingand it's the sound of drivewaysAnd the wind takes my breath with itAnd then I walk up to this doorand I knock even though I feel I don't have toAnd I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I amAnd this crack of light widenson this porch underneath me as this door opensAnd this brown-haired girl with the brightest smileI don't know who she is, but I know her so wellAnd behind her, the warmest home I'd ever seenIt's orange and comfortable, there's fire, and it's bulb-litShe says"Where have you been? I've been waiting on you all nightWe've missed you"She says to the kindest smirk I'd seen in so longThen she tapers off the sentence with theWith the peaceful sound that a lady makesShe grabs me on the forearmspulls softly into the dining roomAnd there's peopleand they're happy, and they're content for oneI don't know who they arebut I know exactly who they areAnd we're all standingand I'm laughing at a joke I'll never hear againI don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I amAnd then she tucks her head between my collar as a friendBetween my collar and my jaw, and there's no weight at allAnd I don't know where I am, but there's no weight at allIt's laughter and grins and no tomorrow to winAnd I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I amI don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
