Word painting (trying something different)

A girl leaves foot prints of red 

but Her feet are not bleeding
Because the world can't hurt Her

But her connection to the earth 
has been severed

And her soul is bleeding 
Out of the soles of her feet

She feels lost 
because she appears to be surrounded
by a maze of red footprints 
where she has already walked In circles 

again 

and again 

and again

The trees are brown 
The leaves are green
The earth is white

And the people are grey

They leave no footprints

But whatever color she had 
left When her soul started to bleed out

And even though she suspects she is lost
And knows she won't be found

Something keeps her feet moving

And something 
stops her soul from healing

But something keeps her blood flowing

And she suspects it is her heart

one day she found a new set of footprints

They were blue

And they were cold

But they were there

She followed them to the boy 
with a broken heart

And patched up his heart 
before he bled out

And even though their footprints 
never stopped

And the world seemed just as white
and just as full of grey people

And they still had no idea where their
feet were trying to take them

They knew they would make it there together
