Footsteps

by Ixora   Mar 17, 2009


All it took was the sound of footsteps.
It was enough for such a weary mind
To begin to fantasize them yours;
But the shadows around began to torment me
Speaking such ugly lies that I curled up,
Afraid once again.
Afraid as always.
I rocked, until I got the courage
To walk in the darkness
And crimson stained my cheeks
At the thoughts of you once more.
Hauntingly beautiful,
This reminiscence of your touch
So long ago I felt it.
Now my teeth hurt from grinding them
In frustration;
When all the footsteps in the world are not yours
But all the memories are.

-Simple enough to inform you of my failure as a writer.
