I walk

I walk along on the wet pavement
Raindrops just keep falling relentlessly
As the skies shower down the pain.

It isn't as if the world is unhappy,
but it's dark and the glow of the blinking signs
just isn't bright enough.

My feet keep moving,
one step in front of the other
in a never ending symphony

It is music. the music that echoes
in a deep, dark abyss.
it's hauntingly beautiful.

In the shop window
there is a baby doll
with a smile as bright as the warm sunlight.
I pass it by.

I walk along. Into the night.
And for a while, I have company.
feet walking with my feet.
But at the crossroads, they turn away.

It is the night, with bright stars in the sky.
The city is vast, and I shall never know it.
I don't even know the street I walk in,
or the alley I just passed.

I know nothing, like Jon Snow,
all I know is that I will never know.
I also know that i will keep walking.
Into the night, forever,
towards that destination that may never be.
