Steps

How can it be
Still tethered to me
Unable to pull it close
Want to reach it within
Unsure where to begin
My apologies deaf of tone

Deep cavernous divide
I cannot abide
If only I knew the way
Cutting out stone
Tools of my bones
Steps to the right words to say

Deserted vision
Cut surgical precision
The cruelty leaves a scar
Blade double sided
Two wrongs collided
Still, Salvation isn't far

Wildfire emotion
Follows deep rooted devotion
That alone remains unseen
Invisible solution
Clouded resolution
Closed eyes unable to see

Hands become bloody
Crawl on knees muddy
I offer all that is left
I ache for the sake
Of corrected mistakes
And continue to carve out the steps
