“Still Chasing Footsteps”

And I find myself…still chasing after your footsteps
Kissing dirt because that’s the only trace of you left

2 thousand miles, 10 million steps… 5 whole years since you’ve been gone but the pain still hasn’t left. I once placed my faith in the lesson learned; collecting love ones steps meant one day they’d return. But the truth is Hercules mythology holds more reality than this falsified remedy.

Days at a time, I spent gazing in the sun; daydreaming of some day laboring your son. I’d smile and blow the sun a kiss. He could be the homophone to the human I yearned to kiss. And when he began to fall mommy was there; admiring his beauty with his sky lightening stare. I think he misses his father as much as I do because tonight he reveals shades of purple and blue.

And I find myself…still chasing after your footsteps
Kissing dirt because that’s the only trace of you left

2 thousand miles, 10 million steps…7 whole years since you’ve been gone but the pain still hasn’t left. I take countless walks on the road that signified your departure in attempt to feel closer to you. I’m careful to preserve your footprints because one day I shall pursue.

I hold my hand out, mentally painting your hand intertwined in mine; memories of you dragging behind, kicking up dust as the air filled with fuss. Our vivid curses grew louder and louder until suddenly…our tongues became mute, eyes became aligned, hands thrown in the air and your body seemed absent of care. And you left me there… 2 thousand miles 10 millions steps…

And I find myself…still chasing after your footsteps
Kissing dirt because that’s the only trace of you left
