Spiraling upward, going nowhere
Steps to Nowhere


These steps to nowhere are what I climb
in an effort to get close to you.
I've been told once I reach the top
I'm in store for a breathtaking view.

This stairway appears to never end
as I've been climbing for days it seems.
I won't give up this ascent I'm on
it possesses the keys to my dreams.

Spiraling upward, going nowhere,
my feet screaming and writhing in pain;
my legs grow weaker with every step
but at the top there's so much to gain.

My heart is now bitter, my soul full of rage ~
these steps to nowhere I descend.
The breathtaking view my eyes won't see ~
back at the bottom my dreams do end.
