Down The Steps

all alone
sitting
Crying
emotions welling
swirling
dying
what have i done?
what did i do?
what has brought this out of you?
all i ever do is try
whirl
swirl
crash and die
all i ever felt has died
flaming
twisted
burning wreckage
have you
could you
get the message?
what can i say?
what can i do?
to get my point across to you
falling
slowly
deeper still
succumbing to
the pain
i will
i know i’m right
i’ve done no wrong
why then do i sing
this dreary song
follow the steps
down to
the end
to get the message
i’ve tried so hard
to send
i’ve been slapped
across the face
and now i’ve gone
to a darker place
no gods
or demons
live down here
only i reside
in fear
that all my pain
will come back again
