Autumn Leaves

Days like autumn leaves
Leaving the tree
Flying away
Leaving behind a
Skeletal misery
They left me behind

Behind.. back in time
A time when things were going great
But great things are fading
Of this I knew
Always looming over my head
A cloud of certain doom

Maybe that's what you saw
The darkness of the cloud
And took the hint to leave me back in time
A skeleton of a tree in the wind

Now I try to let go
Let go of the memory
Latched on to me
A parasite plant on my already deprived body
Trying to feed on the remains of light

Spring will be my saving grace
