An ocean of leaves refuse to catch me as I drown, Offering scratches from branches as I settle down, And, of course, my final view would have a dark patch of clouds, That don't even have the decency to shed a raindrop for me now. The wind at my back passes so fast as if attempting to ignore me, Not even a bird whistles a cheer as I plummet towards the street, My shoes, my wallet and my keys abandon me and flee, As if to make it easier for gravity to take me. Optimistically, at least I won't hear any annoying sirens, No people to act like I'll be ok, no false promises, Just a bed of concrete for a body to lie and sleep, And while the world turns away, at least the asphalt will hold me. And I know I deserve this, this was destined, this was written, From those final words left carelessly on a note in the kitchen.

Fair Thee Well
An ocean of leaves refuse to catch me as I drown, Offering scratches from branches as I settle down, And, of course, my final view would have a dark patch of clouds, That don't even have the decency to shed a raindrop for me now. The wind at my back passes so fast as if attempting to ignore me, Not even a bird whistles a cheer as I plummet towards the street, My shoes, my wallet and my keys abandon me and flee, As if to make it easier for gravity to take me. Optimistically, at least I won't hear any annoying sirens, No people to act like I'll be ok, no false promises, Just a bed of concrete for a body to lie and sleep, And while the world turns away, at least the asphalt will hold me. And I know I deserve this, this was destined, this was written, From those final words left carelessly on a note in the kitchen.
