Much like the leaves that fall from the trees
in the cool November winds
Our love has fallen ...
and passed back to this barren earth ...
If only the sun had been much more gentle
If only the rain had cleansed us of our impurities
If only ...
Decaying on the inside
I'm slowly withering
.. dying ..
With each day the air grows colder ...
.. frozen ..
.. time ..
.. falling ..
.. breathe in ..
.. last thought ..
These branches once strong
.. so proud ..
Stood tall and held the fruit of our love
All that is left is rotting wood ...
.. dead .. lost ..
No more words left to write ...
No more words left to say ...
The beautiful life we once had
has all but passed away ..
.. breathe out ..
