Among Red Skies And Yellow Trees

Like the leaves in the Fall,

Everything began to change.

Not only into different colors,

But also different shapes.

 

The roads began to curve,

Skyscrapers began to twist and turn,

My stomach filled with nerves.

Did I suddenly wake up,

To find myself in a different world?

 

As I walked the newly formed streets,

There was nothing I could recognize.

And with my past now a dream,

I couldn’t help but wonder,

If there was anything here for me,

Among red skies and yellow trees.

 

I walked a couple more miles,

And quickly grew extremely tired.

Was there really something here for me,

Among twisted faces and crooked teeth?

And then I saw her smile.

 

So without any hesitation,

I thought that I could bear the change.

That I could bear the change.

That I could bear the change,

If perhaps for just a while,

But only if she promised to stay the same.
