Forgotten, Broken Steps Poem by Leslie Neiwert

If I retrace my forgotten steps back to this place I know..
This place I know will lay forgotten besides the broken steps..
The wind will tatter, the soul feels lost and nothing is a new..
How will I continue my journey knowing I'm without you...

These first few years will the worst as my wedding comes and goes..
And then we'll have a baby girl or boy, only Goddess knows..
After that we'll spin through time, living on each sudden pry..
Abrupt from this time and place, where all can hear my cry...

If I retrace my forgotten steps back to this place I know..
This place I know will lay forgotten besides the broken steps..
The wind will tatter, the soul feels lost and nothing is a new..
How will I continue my journey knowing I'm without you...

My heart is sadden with you gone, nothing feels the same..
Where have you been for so long, why don't you feel no shame..
My tears linger here on my face as my heart feels so bare..
Though I know deep, deep down, I know you really care...

If I retrace my forgotten steps back to this place I know..
This place I know will lay forgotten besides the broken steps..
The wind will tatter, the soul feels lost and nothing is a new..
How will I continue my journey knowing I'm without you...

My sorrow stings so painful now, and life is just a blur..
You never spoke since this time when faith left a burr..
Then I'll watch as they parade your body to the grave..
I will never understand why your feelings caved...

If I retrace my forgotten steps back to this place I know..
This place I know will lay forgotten besides the broken steps..
The wind will tatter, the soul feels lost and nothing is a new..
How will I continue my journey knowing I'm without you...

From there and on all will be silent, the world felt alone and now..
Nothing nor noone can heal deep down, on the wound you've found..
Til my last grasping breath, I know all is lost..
Because you left me without a trace, my life will be the cost...


If I retrace my forgotten steps back to this place I know..
This place I know will lay forgotten besides the broken steps..
The wind will tatter, the soul feels lost and nothing is a new..
How will I continue my journey knowing I'm without you...
