Footprints

It's dark outside,

It's cold and empty like my mind,

But who would know,

I can't make it right,

I know it's on me but I can't fight,

And i'm on my own,

And I don't get to watch you grow, for now;

Held back away by reality,

The fact is all I know;The footprints,

That I left,

Were meant to lead me back to home,

The distance,

Between us,

Has grown so bitter and so cold,

The permanence of silence,

Erodes them leaving just a hole;The lights are alive,

The glare is burning in my eyes, for now,

It's nothing like i've ever been,

Shown in my life, but now;All along the path we're taking,

Never had a chance we're breaking,

Breaking down i've lost my bearings,

Bearing all the cost by missing,

Missing out on what's worth sharing,

Leaving me with no control
