EVERY STEP

I wanted to stay away
But every step
Brought me closer to you.
Every step
What could I do?
I couldn't ever be without you,
Can I be true?
Where do I start?
You're etched on my heart,
Your spirit lives in my soul.
Every step
I tried to walk away,
But, life without you
Darkened hole
Black as coal.
Saddened rhyme
Spending time
Mind wandering like the sun,
My horizons on the run
You surrendered a love so fine.
Every step
The clouds gather overhead,
I walk alone, but you're with me
The roots to my shaky tree.
I wanted to go my own way
But my feet knew what to do,
They didn't heed a mans confused mind
Every step they keep walking back to you.
