Stepping Into Footprints Again Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sailing away into the sunset, love having died and
left the shores of this life forevermore.

Bereft, lonely, forsaken and abandoned, living an
existence of emptiness, nothing to hold onto, no
pleasure anymore like before.

Tattered and alone, stepping into footprints of
past memories, the only thing left on earth.

Reliving them one by one, forgetting life that can
no longer be lived fully, dreaming of what used to
be.

Having no dreams for the future anymore, not being
able to conceive of anything that will bring pleasure
without the love of yesterday being lost forever.
