ONE STEP AT A TIME.. INTO THE DARKNESS

I'm sad.
And you're not here now.
Do you really care about me?
I don't know.
Did you ever really care about me?
Does it even matter?
You don't anymore.
That's all that matters.

One foot in front of the other.
Just one step at a time.
It doesn't matter whether I'm happy or not.
All that matters is that I do something good in the world.
And I will do good in the world someday.

Or maybe I'll just fail.
Like I always do.
And make the world still worse.
As usual.

What does it matter.
I'm so alone.
There are people that I know.
But I'm still alone.

It doesn't seem fair.
I hurt so badly inside.

Nobody seems to care.
It doesn't matter though.
My existence wasn't fair to you in the first place.
But I can remedy that.

Slowly, my hand slips out of yours.
And I fall.
