When the Autumn Leaves Fall

When the Autumn Leaves Fall... Blossoms bloom red Your pretty smile falls beneath your head Brunette flow Healthy glow From then on you hid in my sheets The thing you were running from I never got to meet I rushed in Not knowing it was a bear’s den We got married I thought I was what you would need We planted seed after seed To grow a tree But time went on And you were slowly on your way to gone I figured out pretty fast That on your heart’s list I was last Every day you woke Around the house a dying smell poked My affections were true But you not loving me was something I knew Don’t wear that disguise I’m immature but a little wise I know all your lies We share the same lives! Eventually destiny hit in the autumn leaves With the foxes you became a thief You threw out my wedding ring Mascara covered eyes; you were a mess I didn’t have to guess You were accompanied by a luggage bag I watched you leave not knowing you left with all I had Where do I turn What lesson is there to be learned! I am so confused I’m not walking in my own two shoes It’s been about a year My own life I can’t steer I know I was not in your view But I’m troubled because I think I stuck onto you like glue I’m drowning because These memories are not fading to fuzz There all a little to real and alive Dark realization you were all I strived You were what I sought out Why I am still teary eyed and missing you remains about Well I grew that tree and carved our names To you our love was all fun and games Then I scratched them out from pain and regret! My chained emotions had to be let... Let go This I think know But why is letting go still something I am pondering My heart still does ring I’m still coming across the past Your still what I had last I remember the first time you said hi I still ask why Why was I the scapegoat? Being with you, was it not an authentic lump in my throat? I stare at the sky so dark Clarity on mark I clear my brain My heart’s stain My intentions are now in sink I take a deep breath and blink Your gone like that This time I know it’s a fact I stepped out of the thorn bush and onto the path I satisfied my own wrath It took a while for everything to be white I left you with the fire it took forever to light I left it all behind To burn with my battered mind
