Autumn Ashes
Tell me, does time turn us to dust
as fire fades to ashes,
Does water slide down your face
like tears kiss these glasses.
A feeling of loneliness
but I know that you are near,
I see the monster in the mirror
and love gives way to fear.
Tears of joy have turned to hate
all because of me,
Dying leaves slowly falling
off this aging tree.
Like the leaf I hit the ground
without a passing thought.
All life here has drained away
nature's lessons must be taught.
Bleeding anguish from the sky
in the form of rain,
Autumn chills kiss our scars
and soothe away the pain.
Ashes, ashes from the clouds
have turned this world to grey,
Autumn ashes in my heart
drown the love away.
