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.
