Fall has left its mark cold on my heart,
touching life with deadly fingers, reducing all to brown and gray.
Love has faded into gray along with the coming of snow,
wiping out all warmth and memory of it’s short stays.
For love comes and goes without so much as a word,
hibernating far from my warm bed and hiding despite my prayers.
Loneliness has marked it’s territory
And love leaves me alone.

Fall has left its mark cold on my heart,

hibernating far from my warm bed and hiding despite my prayers.
Loneliness has marked it’s territory
And love leaves me alone.
