Another Step Behind


            Seek me, see me, laugh, and cry at my side. Find me as shelter. Let your heart reside. Tell me why you look so distraught. May it be a memory in thought? Tell me; fill me in, please let me know. Let me know why it’s always this. There seem to be few else to turn to. We live in a world so large, yet so cold in the summer time. It seems there isn’'t anyone who'’ll listen, and little advice to find. Every day and every step we’re another step behind.
            Come to me as my equal, come to me today. Find comfort in false happiness. Life can be so bliss. With you it never is though, no, not for long. You listen to another song. Hearing it, it’s meaning clear. We find our rhymes apply to the very life we fear. Another day, and another memory creates a new plan to take up time. Every day and every step we’re another step behind.
            The years go by so quickly and we gain none it seems. The skies are no more blue, and neither are the streams. The more we try to do, the more volume to our tears. We try so hard and we think so fast, but the worlds too full of fears. We look to our great goals, we turn and run. The time we have is short. My time writing is now done.
