Hadley Potratz Jul 2019
The trees lose their leaves, there clothing. I slowly start to lose my grip. My hands have only ever wanted the bark.
The air becomes crisp. The higher you climb the further you fall, the harder it hits. as soon as I lost my grip, I lost you as well.
The temperature drops sharply at night. Just as sharp as the blade I drag across my arms, as the trees lose there clothing I add on, long sleeves and pants to cover the "bark"

The touch of you makes me quiver and it fixes my line of sight
I know I've disappeared for a while and I thought this would be a good comeback... I like this poem but I don't think it's done... I could use some comments or a few dm's to help complete it.

You told me that
I couldn't run forever
Well I can run
Until I drop dead
What better escape
Than death itself?

I thought sleeping all day
Would stop me from thinking
Yet it couldn't
Keep the nightmares away
