A Step

i took
a step
towards you,

away from me

the person i used to be.

and you have no idea
what it meant
to me
what it means still,
today,

i can unfailingly recall
every moment of it all.

i don't know why
i said what i did.
and even though the night has passed,
i still ponder every bit.

i can't tell
whether i'm sad
or

that elusive feeling
some call happiness.

i am really so tired
of

drained inside out
life fading

the only thing throbbing

is the pain
