Strangers

She smiled, said she loved the fall The color on the trees and the falling leaves I smiled back, leaning against the wall We didn’t know it, but the two of us were thieves She stole my heart, locking it away All it took was the look in her eyes I stole her youth, turning her to gray All it took was the stress from my lies If only there was a way to make time rewind For you know I would spend my last dime To give you a chance to see inside my mind Maybe we wouldn’t falter like wind chimes You turn to me and say you’re starving, and hungry for another bed Lover please…. don’t be a memory Relinquish me from all these feelings I dread If our love is murder, charge me as an accessory She smiled, said she loved the winter The bright lights and the falling snow I smiled back, holding the door for her to enter Another stranger to get to know
