walking down a dark hall
I hear the footsteps of a past
not so far behind
Ghosts of a time, smiling faces
and happy memories all stand
at the end behind a closed door.
Brush my fingers along the wall,
both pushing me forward and
pulling me back.
To face whats hidden would be
to face all I fear.
Pictures float across the door
lighting my path, and breaking my heart.
when I turn that knob, I know destiny
will walk out.
I get the feeling that you are my destiny.
Forever passed in a culmintation
of a few short moments.
And now a journey so long
taken could end in a second
if the memories would just leave me be.
Hold my breath and close my eyes
and still I see you before me.
I stop and turn to run away.
I can't go through that again.
But then I hear your sweet voice
whisper my name.
But no, its just the wind and
another memory of a death you died in my arms.
Stumbling down in the middle,
I have no where to go.
It's all in my head and heart
all the words I'll never hear you say to me.
Compelling me, I crawl,
screaming and clawing my way to you
and to that door.
I remember so clearly the last breath
you breathed before me
and the way you kissed me with nothing
in it.
I crave for you in a way
I never thought I could.
I just have to make my way to the end...
to that door.
