Retracing The Steps

by ilikepurple222   Jan 22, 2010


I retrace the steps, but avoid the lines.
The ghosts reappear and make me hide.
But before you know it,
I'm dashing for the next spot
hoping to still find a tie.
To my disappointment, there's nothing.
Only strangers walking by
and a pain that just won't mend.
Standing still,
the room turns and my legs buckle beneath me.
He wasn't there.
But if he could only see.
So many things I realized too late
and myself I began to hate.
The lifeless person inside this body
soon became a nobody.

    I didnt like this one as the other two as much, but good nonetheless, perhaps you should clean it up and move things around to make it all a little easier to read

    I like the poem but the title especially, its almost like everyone retraces steps they've taken in their lives to find out how they got where they are today. Good job 5/5
