your face in my mind
as i leave you behind
not for the first time,
not for the last.
you breathe out fresh air-
the kind i've grown to crave,
you've really got me hooked.
i fell in love in the fall
when you coloured me orange
and red, the colour of love.
i remember the green
when my heart said to go
but when the yellow leaves began to fall, i knew to slow.
i remember my empty heart
being filled by your presence
i remember how nice it was
to be touched after so long
of burrowing myself into my cave
with walls of cold hard metal
that no one could get through
and no one could escape.
i always forgot how smart you were;
you knew just how to melt them into them into the ground,
into a pool of never-ending grey,
and how to coax me from that cave.
the only thing you forgot
was that i never learned to swim,
i remember drowning in you.
