On A Highway Leading Nowhere

I threw the questions to the cosmos,
To echo amongst the stars -
Ones I ask so often and so deeply…

What is this puzzle I can't ever solve?
Where does this highway lead and
why am I on it?

…while my arms ache from longing to hold

…while my heart overflows to fill its lonely emptiness

…while my eyes flood and ebb

…while the sun rises or sets or stays still,
its heat mild compared to mine

…while I am on this highway leading nowhere

And you -
How do you go from
"lust for your company" and
"completely seduced" --
to completely silent?

Teach me, please, how to do the same.
