i fall -
like an autumn leaf;
you turn seasons and carry my heart with the wind
your cold fingers trail flames and i cannot help but redden
what fire stumbles in my heart?
come over when the night unrolls, we can seal each other's wounds with tongue
you leave bite marks but it hurts in a good way
i fell.
like the fool i am, i trusted your gentle lies
flames die when untended and you made it rain on purpose
you flee in the morning, leaving promises scattered on the ground
i sweep them away but you keep coming back with more
i have fallen;
but now i stand
you stripped me bare and left without a glance
but i have a new lover, and she dresses me in flowers
sunrise melts into my bones as we kiss
her hands are warm but i want change
we meet on the street and i stumble.
you catch me and it starts all over again.
