Staring at the ceiling
And wondering
Why we can
Skip through hearts
As easily as skipping stones
Why we can
Feel alive through spring
But fall apart in autumn
Like the leaves on the trees
That used to make me feel
So secure
Why we can
Let our emotions run rampant
While I'm curled up with you
During a blizzard
But let our hearts freeze
And fog with the glass
As we crumble and melt
When things heat up
Staring at the ceiling
And wondering
Why skipping stones is so easy
Why autumn brings insecurity
And why we couldn't withstand the storm
