These steps
There’s these steps I’m forbidden to walk upon;
but I know how they’re made;
Every crack, every footstep ever engraved.
I know how many people have walked passed them without counting;
My happiest moments and my biggest mistakes,
were made on those steps, and with each step I’d take,
I never imagined being forbidden to use them;
An unwanted trespasser, what have I done?
To suddenly be blind to the person who owns them;
I’ll keep my distance, but I’ll remember where they’re from.
