Footprints

By Laura D August 20, 2016 It doesnt work this beauty I found Meant for a different life Washed into the sea Founded the coast With tides that won't subside Meant for a different life It used to feel so right Such a strange place Where the water was clear Meant for a different life I always wanted more This isn't my life Just happened to find Ghosts from an older time This isn't the way But somehow I found Footprints just like my own It feels so strange This body of mine The voice that can't deny Made with a faulty design It all feels surreal This doesn't seem right I've seen too much To still have my mind They feel so alien now Memories and a former life That life was never mine Another Failure by design I wake up cold As an arctic winter night Breathing so fast This isn't meant to last This isn't my life Just happened to find Ghosts from an older time This isn't the way But somehow I found Footprints just like my own
