I lay here just to be stepped upon. With the power to move, yet lacking the will As the moon retreats, I lay until dawn, They come and watch me through the window sill. From here I would move, with motivation If I had one who could grant me such, But I do not, so I avoid the temptation. For one such as that I would not dare touch. Alas, I lie on this cold ground alone, I wait for the next one to step upon me. This life fits me, yet new one I will own, In this pain I am filled to the knee. You and I were never meant to be, Only this pain from you will set me free.

The Stepping Mat
I lay here just to be stepped upon. With the power to move, yet lacking the will As the moon retreats, I lay until dawn, They come and watch me through the window sill. From here I would move, with motivation If I had one who could grant me such, But I do not, so I avoid the temptation. For one such as that I would not dare touch. Alas, I lie on this cold ground alone, I wait for the next one to step upon me. This life fits me, yet new one I will own, In this pain I am filled to the knee. You and I were never meant to be, Only this pain from you will set me free.
