Walking Toward
I don't want to go, but no one ever does.
Not too fast, one step at a time
No matter either way, the destination's the same.
Shuffling down, or is it a climb?
No matter which choices were made,
The end was always going to be near.
So why be scared, why fear, why the tears?
The inevitability of it all was clear.
And the aisles were filled
As the sweetest music played,
Meant to be there, but life doesn't care.
A dream never realised, a debt never paid.
Shattered the world too early,
And Broken the Heart too soon.
The only thing that has lasted,
Pain remaining in an emptied room.
Nothing could be done, no way to repair
The cuts far too deep, the cracks far too wide.
No more looks to say, No words to speak
No sound escapes to travel the divide.
Was it enough, was it all it could be?
Will it get you through, or leave you empty?
Did you gain strength, or were you left weak?
Do you celebrate, or do you blame me?
