Retracing Steps
In the Rain, Stars AlignThe warning signs were clear
I painted them myself
So why did I not heed them?
Instead, I set myself up
For the dangerous fall.
I'm always "in the moment"
Feelings will fade
I forget
But perhaps if I can record my steps
An angel reminds me to look back
When she finds my praise for her hidden within the pages
That I have faithfully scrawled in
Whether it be in despair or reverence
Slowly the words have evolved
For one, from friendliness to rejection
For another, coldness to regert
I change as the world rotates underneath my feet
These shards that have flew off me in times of need
Do not make up the whole picture
But they remind me when I lose pieces
Of what I have forgotten
Perhaps I am supposed to shed off these emotions
Before they stab my heart
Scatter them among the grass
And never look back
But I can't help but retrace my steps.
