As the leaves fall and the birds sing I recall all the reasons that made me frail
Like a wave knows she will reach the ocean, I know that there is hope out there
Like how at night a flower wonders if the sun will ever rise and shine once more
Again and again, I think of how someone can hold you without touch and lead you to the shore
The wrinkles on your cheeks and the smile in your voice and the smell of the sun after the rain
The earth would spin and we’d spin too but always land colliding and we’d know we’re still sane
Laughter so true and love so vast they can set off avalanches and halt thunder
And as the days pass the moon will be full again and our eyes would see its beauty as we stand gazing under
The pleasure in having a house to call a home and walking on wet grass and feeling the wind in your hair
Flowing rivers and crashing snowflakes and tragedies of the sweet winter air
Your print on my heart, your voice in the back of my mind and the things you utter
The sound of defeat and the cruelty of failure but none of that matters because you protect me like a shutter

the empty words i uttered and the hollow promises i made haunt me more than the words that were lying under my skin and were waiting for me to utter them but i never did.

the clock reminds me of some time distant
some time when i looked at it and saw silent shadows falling
and earth spinning slower than this
now it spins too fast and all the shadows left and i remain alone
no roof can shelter me from my fears
no arms can caress the surge of panic under my skin
drowsy nights and messy hair
thoughts in disarray and eyes fixed in a horrid stare
turn me into a malady and plant me into a flesh maybe ill do some good there
halt all the thunder and stop all the rain
wrap me in a blanket made of flowers maybe that'll remove the pain
falling into dismay instead of love
and drowning into emotions of a past i once thought was enough
time will pass and the effect of words will wash
and i will be left numb once more and another wave will crash
i could kiss your eyes as you fall asleep
and sing to you and wake feelings that make you weep
instead i will shut you out and away
because in this fort of misfortune alone i must stay

look at me and watch my pupil dilate from fear of never being able to gaze at your skin once more
i would hold you in my arms as nights slip and clocks tick and shooting stars race
the terror i have for destiny and days that follow tomorrow keeps my current days sore
your voice echoes in my ears and my head has been conquered by all the features of your face
all my journeys have lead to closed doors and drifted roads and i have no reason but you to live for
tangled hair and blushing cheeks resting on your breathing chest and beating heart with grace
i would feel you and breath you in me till every corner of my lungs is filled to the core
the future might deprive me of your presence so for now lock me in your arms and invade all my space
shivers everywhere and agony too demanding to bear and no key fits into the locked door
melodies my heart had forgotten visit, urge and plead but I'm blinded by mysteries ill forever trace
