Footprints I leave

Knock knock on my door
black suits carryinging my father
Tears flow freely
Getting up, why should I bother

The love that was the light of my day
Turns to the darkness I hate
I am left to suffer
With my unchosen fate

I walk this world without you
In darkness I saunter along
Trying to find the meaning of life again
And somewhere that I belong

Soaking up the misery
That is seeping from this scar
With tissues made of my past dreams
Your soul is gone but your body isn't far

Please come help me through this
I cannot do it alone
You were my strength and my power
You were my solid stone

Theres so much I want you to see, Dad
meet my new boyfriend, watch me get on the plane
I have grown since you last saw me
I'm just not quite the same

I hope your having a blast up there
Your troubles have all gone away
So enjoy the time for now, knowing I will come
To join you there someday

Footprints I leave in the mud
From walking on my own
But soon a faint set of prints, following me
tell me Im not alone
