An Unrequited Autumn

Like the leaves fall off the trees and the rain from the sky
I'm used like a fool emotions on fire
Still a tear on your cheek would melt the heart of this guy.

Played for a clown ,I am  the fall guy
The looks of a cherub but turned out a liar 
Like the leaves fall off the trees and the rain from the sky.

I'm unable to part to say that goodbye   
Know matter how much you conspire
Still a tear on your cheek would melt the heart of this guy.

But my love for you I cannot deny
even when your words cut me like barbed wire
Like the leaves fall off the trees and the rain from the sky.

Your love is still true in my mind’s eye
I just prey you don't make it backfire
Still a tear on your cheek would melt the heart of this guy

Try not to crush my heart  thats shaped  like a butterfly
But if you do it this time, it will be one last goodbye
Like the leaves fall off the trees and the rain from the sky
Still a tear on your cheek would melt the heart of this guy

Just the right words and spoken in a perfect way might captivate a heart and have her see it just your way. Precious, delicate writing. And if you are left empty, there’s still the triumph of your pen.
