Footsteps

you walked away
leaving your footsteps
in the sand
you knew i'd follow them



and i did. when i couldn't
walk, i crawled
deaf to the whispering
of the sea:
"leave them alone"

....................
but i didn't want to
....................



you took away my dreams
and left me with
the reality
face to face



you knew i was too weak
even though
you ran away
and the wind protected
you from my words



and the sea whispered again:
"be quiet. be still"


the heart sinked
in quicksand
it's dead. and the wind's
laughing
cause you're footsteps are gone...



i'm a live ghost
hunting myself now
searching for the wind
to ask him
has he seen my heart


i scream silently
sitting on a wave
and the sea's whispering:
"never chase footsteps
when the wind's blowing
give up fighting
for invisibility"


but i still sit
on the sand
with a cloud in my hand
i'm asking him
"have you seen them footsteps? "
