Let Me

As the golden leaves

Shimmer and fall

The tree trunk stands

Strong and tall

The autumn breeze swaying

In its midst


My memories

They flutter and fly

Away into a depthless haze

And into a world

Untouched by hate

Stolen by the gust of time

Ripped, torn

From the gaping hole inside


Let me live

Another day

To see the tree

Shed its leaves

To see autumn as it goes

Away


Let me wait

Till winter comes

And coats my heart in

Frosty flakes

Numbing it from the outside

To the core


Let me look with earnest eyes

Upon the world devoid of joy

Let me wait for

Another spring

Where happier times

Await
