Fading

Stepping back
out of the way
quietly disappearing
from the page

Hanging on
fingers slipping
losing their
grasp
leaving bloody
fingerprints

Feet standing
on heads
foot prints
on faces
in the crush

Pushed against
the wall
lungs gasp
for air
only to find
none

Cries unheard
unnoticed
fade away

Heart breaks
into pieces
shattering
with no sound
floating
down
to settle
beneath the
footsteps
walking
toward
another destination.
