Alone Under the Leaves
beneath the leaves and under stone
lies a beating heart of someone alone
i hear the grave is unbearably cold
when you die alone when you are old
it is true you cannot go back
home again when the sky is black
but more than this and this is true
is that no one can ever know except for you
