Footsteps

I'm afraid to look at you.
I can feel the blank stare of nothing behind these green eyes.

I am afraid you will see 
Just how far away I have managed to stumble.

My soul filled with deep passion 
Has dissipated to cold ash
No burning 
No desire 

The presence of any illuminating love 
Is seeping out of my pores.
Leaving just a shell of my body to rebuild. 

My mind full of empty thoughts.
No words left to spit out. 

My feet are heavy now
Each step is like pulling my feet out of the quick sand.
Each stride widens the gap of distance.

Just stand there. Make no sudden movements.
Watch my footprints slowly disappear 
As I set foot into the distance 

One last glance over my shoulder,
Goodbye my once sweet pearl.
