The Fall

As I watch the leaves fall from this dying tree As I feel earth's chill I fall right to my knees. Causalities Distorted realities Another day A soul as slipped away. Just like I had feared Your love has disappeared, Into the forbidden air Leaving me cold and bare. This world was never meant to be fair, This world will always point and stare. While we were young, we had our years With age, it brought us tears With youth, we had forever Now we have lost endeavors. I still see smiles coded in sweet innocence I still hear laughter, made of simplicity Lingering throughout each breeze Why has everyone I ever loved Caught this world's disease? If one person could change the outcome How come all seems lost? If one person saved the earth Then, why do I bare this cross? The climate has progressively shifted in society Along with the atmosphere that’s brewing deep inside of me. So many seem to run, are bankrupt, and alone Many stumble in the darkness Ashamed, they quietly roam. If we were made with purpose Then, why has the purpose died? Why has everyone fallen away? drifting like the tide? My mind plays movie clips, of better days in time But it also plays the future years I see the warning signs. I close my eyes and hold my heart For most of the time it’s in pieces and parts I wait patiently for that magnificent star To wash away all these abysmal scars. By: Sabina Nicole
