Every step
Each step I take weigh heavily,
As I set foot outside the door,
One more look into the living room,
One more glance before I go.
Every breath feels like a sigh,
Every thought like a foe,
I despise the certain knowledge,
That I really have to go.
I leave my weary footprints,
On the path that leads me home,
And this home I leave behind me,
Because I have to go.
My pack feels like a burden,
My bag strains my muscles,
Towards my train I stumble.
I don’t want to go.
You give me all the reasons,
To keep my hopes a float,
You love for me I cherish,
And still I have to go.
I go reluctantly and struggling,
My presence but a ghost,
But I know that after leaving,
My love did nowhere go.
I’ll return with new ambition,
Turn the tides this parting brought,
I’ll know what I had left for,
It is love that has me caught.
Please wait for me my darling,
Keep in mind I went real slow,
And I will keep my every promise
I’ll be back before you know.
