~ Trembling Leaf ~

Standing on a lonesome street
On a late September afternoon
With a pain howling in my heart
As I stare into the dark grey sky
Pleading for the summer sun to return.

Please don’t let me fade out like this
Silently and slowly into the distance
With each passing day
And each missing kiss
I feel myself disappearing in a void
No longer able to touch you
Or be the one that you called home.

And now I run alongside the river
Where I see the entrance of your street
Across the field where we played frisbee
And laughed in that summer sun.

Well, now the autumn is here
And I see the leaves turning brown
The first few falling in front of my face
Showing the changing of the seasons
As my inbox remains empty of your messages
As our dreams evaporate more each day
And my heart wilts like those leaves
Waiting for the breath of life it needs
Only delivered by your gentle touch
And your radiant sunshine eyes
That stirred my senses, nurtured my soul
And awakened me to true life.
