Stepping Stones

I take steps.

Tiny steps.

One

           Step 

                       At

                               A

                                      Time.

I don't want to break you

Or this.

I take baby steps

One

           By

                    One.

I'm scared

But that's not going to get us anywhere.

Actually

I'm terrified.

But I keep taking

s

     t

           e

                  p

                         s

Like stepping stones

To us.

    Is the second I slip away.

    Even if it's in my own head

    And not real.

    Even if you were trying to love me.

    There's a moment

    There's a moment in my mind

    A calm before the storm

    The part of the song where we all fly

    Before plunging down to darkness.

     

    There's a moment when I can feel my blood
