Each Step...

by Avari de Lioncourt

Each step on golden glass

The sands of time beneath my feet,

Each step they drive

Their bitter edges

Into crimson deeply cut.

Tearing,

Fraying,

Breaking down what was there.

How shall I repair this?

How shall I forget?

Each step against glass knives,

Tearing at captured sunsets.

Each step they beat against

Throwing their might and worth

To reach deep waters

So uncommon hear in Desolation.

Each step against heavenly bullets,

Ripping through

What glass and knives did not cut.

Each step driving me,

Pushing me down.

How shall dodge them?

The rain of bullets I can not escape.

Running so fast and far

Shooting my fifth savior.

Is this my punishment?

For all I have caused?

Each step so much closer

To what I may never reach

But each step I try

Each step...
