Leaves Of The Past

I recall how autumn’s fall

Of leaves across my path

Would make me stop and take a pause

To reflect upon my past

Woes so small and regrets so tall

Trailed me through the years

I never thought that I would face

This moment among these tears

But childhood plays such tender tricks

Upon your delicate mind

You push each grain within your pain

Back to more tender times

We would press those memories yet

To another place and time

To hide those lies within to cry

So silent without crime

But now the price of making these

So hidden in our lives

Brings us to the place we know

Where terror only hides.
