cacophonous crying

screaming sabotage

all of this noise
not being heard

or not being said

it is autumn.
you are golden;
you were golden
in summer
too.

Sunlight makes
the leaves
the greenest
they can be!

You enjoy the darkness and serenity... yet you were attracted to me because I’m light and chaos. You yield to my rapture of energy. Your peace has compelled my heart to tranquility.

Distance
Coddled me into believing
Each step forward was the same,
Measure for measure.

Detachment
Led me to reason
Every unguarded move was safe,
So new, so pure.

Then all at once,
So Thirty Years' War,
Out the window
I was thrown.
