Reign of Acorns

The reign of acorns
Falling from the skies
From the skies
Dominating, dominating 
Ruining my life

But, not hers
As she dances upon them
Crushing, crushing
Smiling, smiling 
A youthful girl still in her mind

Thus, the reign of acorns
Ending, ending
Beneath her rule
And under winter's thumb
Of autumn's welcome demise
