The Road

At the end of the world
We will walk down
The road
Together
There will be no time 
For jam or tea
All there will be 
Is survival
It's the same 
As now then
She whispers
And I agree 
We inhabit 
Our own apocalypse 
Lying still 
Underneath the window
Our feet hurt
When we walk
And we have baggage
Like a shopping trolley
Full of supplies
Inevitable that we will lose
Perhaps we will be happy
That we are taking 
The journey together
Perhaps the dust
The cold
The grey
Will become as familiar
As the red bed 
In the end of course
I will have to leave you
Only the young 
Can move on
Survive 
That would make me cry
But I would not show you
I would leave you
In the care of someone else
Maybe without me
You will grow
Never
She stamps her feet
Then on we must journey
Limping and tired
On this never ending
Road.
