There is nothing
more distracting
than thoughts of you.

We fell like the leaves
I blew away with the wind
a warm heart only believes
that love will never end

i should have known
there would come a day
when winds would blow
and birds would fly away

a bare branch heaves
swinging in the wind
indian summer deceives
the cold is setting in

Come close this time
To question my breaths
And hear the whispers of your name
Between the distances of those unnamed breaths and soundless sighs.

don't be afraid to bare your teeth
and snarl aloud
for weve evolved from instinct
and once you embrace it
you are more human than us all
