Footsteps in the stairs <br />Used to be a story yet unveiled <br />Pounding heart, looking forward <br />To a knock on the door <br />When once-upon-a-time begins. <br /> <br /> <br />Laughters, tears, <br />Silent talks we had <br />All these years <br />Crazy, silly us <br />Midnight's descent <br />Just a flurry on the side. <br /> <br /> <br />The footsteps stopped coming <br />The story ended <br />The talks, the laughs, the secrets <br />Became a seldom fall <br />Of water out of a wall. <br /> <br /> <br />Crazy, silly <br />None of them <br />Remained, <br />Midnight descended <br />For good. <br /> <br /> <br />As the story started <br />Once upon a time, <br />A friendship blossomed <br />A friendship grew <br />But as once upon a time ended, <br />The storybook closed. <br />Midnight descended <br />Forever on what could have been <br />Happily-ever-after <br />Had the footsteps never stopped..<br /><br />Izobelle Pulgo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-footsteps-stopped-coming/
