Forward Unto Nothing

Will you accompany me
As I walk endlessly
On this stoned path?
The echoes of my
Footsteps are all
That keep me company
As I walk
Forward Unto Nothing

Will you forgive me
As I get lost
On this dark path?
The blindness of
This journey leaves me
Scared and unsure
Even so, I must go
Forward Unto Nothing

It seems I've spent
More than a life
Walking, almost stumbling
On this path
Trying to find meaning
For this old, weary soul
Alone I go on
Forward Unto Nothing

Please don't laugh
As I trip over stones
That stand in my way
For each fall
Kills me inside
I will slowly rise
And drag on
Forward Unto Nothing

Please don't yell
When I go down
A darker path
For the silence
Deafens me so
My ears bleed
Quivering my eyesight, I go
Forward Unto Nothing

For you reading this
You are as I am
A soul wandering through
Numerous paths searching
For the same thing
A purpose
Until then, we march
Forward Unto Nothing

And as you wander
You might meet a stranger
One who will accompany
This journey with you
Maybe they are your purpose
Most journey alone
Searching and drifting aimlessly
Forward Unto Nothing

Nothing that will ever be found
Until the last breath
Is drawn
In the loneliness
That is our journey
Our 'life'
