Sore shoulders
Bruised back
Letting go
Can't react
Pit in the stomach
Remains of the past
Body aching
Will it last
Walking forever
Stride by stride
Smiles fade
Hope has died
Mind loses temperament
Thoughts grow weak
Promises fade
Whispers of deceit
Eyes fall shut
Visions grow weary
Speech falls away
Who's left to hear me
Suffocation sets
Consumed by fear
Dreams of light
The path is clear
Sinking in dirt
Engulfed by life
Stones disappear
Ridden with strife
Paths fall short
Beneath a seam
Fading away
Remnants to a dream
Steps fade
Left alone
One purpose
A stepping stone
