Autumn

By Laura D
October 12, 2016

Its just shame and paranoia
A line that might destroy ya
Its self-abuse that's gauranteed
The trap that lies inside the greed

Beneath the smile and baggy eyes
A torrid nighttime lulliby
To make the wages that we keep
It seeps through pores as angels sleep

This face is such a lonely place
Remember who they laid to waste
The innocence lost in the breeze
Where insecurities take the rest of me

Lay me to bed, my daring, tragic muse
Too brave to live where currency is used
And as the city lights are lost inside the Autumn sky
Maybe i'll never have to die; or find a single reason why
