En Tu Lugar Poem by Twilight Whispers

Standing quietly in your shoes,
Peacefully reminiscing the abscence of your goodbyes,
Hearing the silence of your desperate cries,
My shiny new boots begin to move.

One step forward turns into two,
Suddenly I'm running through your racing head,
Hearing every word I ever said,
As I struggled to keep hold of you.

Two steps forward turned into three,
I feel your hurt and your pain,
Experiences I've spoken of - you've relived them again
Just by graciously listening to me.

Three steps forward turned into four,
I sense the approaching dark,
It's time to go: to move on from my heart,
Time to close my door.

One step more and I've stopped on my path,
To try and find your footsteps,
To remember how my heart wept,
When you ran away and buried your tracks.

With no more steps to take, no more dreams to break,
I take off both of your shoes.
I know how you felt, I can now understand
That you were loved too much, and confused.

I slip into my own shoes and follow my own way,
Knowing I will never look back or stay,
Knowing I will always have to chose,
But knowing that, for now, I have nothing to lose.
