footprints

it's dark outside, it's cold and empty like my mind, but who would know, i can't make it right, i know it's on me but i can't fight, and i'm on my own, and i don't get to watch you grow, for now;, held back away by reality, the fact is all i know;, the footprints, that i left, were meant to lead me back to home, the distance, between us, has grown so bitter and so cold, the permanence of silence, erodes them leaving just a hole;, the lights are alive, the glare is burning in my eyes, for now, it's nothing like i've ever been, shown in my life, but now;, all along the path we're taking, never had a chance we're breaking, breaking down i've lost my bearings, bearing all the cost by missing, missing out on what's worth sharing, leaving me with no control
