One More

Just one more step
Just one more step
Just one more step
Just one more step

I say this phrase
For strength in need
Just one more step
Just one, I plead
I feel so tired,
Weary to my core
Straight to the bone
Can’t feel anymore
Beyond this weight
That bears me down
And causes in my tears
My soul to drown
A fire burned low
Only ash remains
A broken soul
Leaving only red stains
I’m spread so thin
There’s no way out
I shall never be whole again
There’s no doubt
Pain etches its mark
With every tear that falls
Drained till I’m hollow
My heart beats then stalls

Just one more step
Along life’s way
Just one more step
Before the end today
