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.
