This a poem I wrote called "This Road I Know"
There´s this flash I get often, a fever dream or a vision of sorts
Most times late at night
And I haven´t found out why, but I know exactly why

I´m on this road, and I hear gravel underneath me, and I feel it too
And I don´t know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
It´s dark, it´s really dark
And the car is warm, but somehow I can feel how cold the night is
I don´t know where the road leads, but I know exactly where it ends
You see, I keep driving, and all I see for the longest while is my headlights
For an eternity it seems
And everything is desolate and empty and nothing and hopeless
I´m lost, but I know where I´m going
I´m safe, I´m warm, I´m driving
And I see this small light
A dim one growing bigger and brighter and closer and stronger

And the closer I get, the more I see
I make out a house with light strewn across it, a porch, and cars
Some frosted windshields that hadn´t been touched for hours
I hear a song, and it´s faint
And I can´t make out the name, but I know every word
I feel my feet first
And it´s cold, and they´re crunching, and it´s the sound of driveways
And the wind takes my breath with it
And then I walk up to this door, and I knock even though I feel I don´t have to
And I don´t know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
And this crack of light widens on this porch underneath me as this door opens

And this brown-haired girl with the brightest smile
I don´t know who she is, but I know her so well
And behind her, the warmest home I´d ever seen
It´s orange and comfortable, there´s fire, and it´s bulb-lit
She says
"Where have you been? I´ve been waiting on you all night
We´ve missed you"
She says to the kindest smirk I´d seen in so long
Then she tapers off the sentence with the
With the peaceful sound that a lady makes
She grabs me on the forearms, pulls softly into the dining room
And there´s people, and they´re happy, and they´re content for one
I don´t know who they are, but I know exactly who they are

And we´re all standing, and I´m laughing at a joke I´ll never hear again
I don´t know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
And then she tucks her head between my collar as a friend
Between my collar and my jaw, and there´s no weight at all
And I don´t know where I am, but there´s no weight at all
It´s laughter and grins and no tomorrow to win
And I don´t know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
I don´t know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
