one year decayed
another year born
like the leaves in fall
so fall my days
and form the carpet
on which my future rests
the thicker the carpet
the harder the going
lost, bewildered, I look around me
only the past do I see
and trees die
struggling to stay alive
evermore do I breed new emotions
that fall upon my memories
and cover them up
caring
on, ever on
I make my way through my past
kicking up leaves
revealing black and rotten leaves
a life long gone
which I thought buried
closing my eyes for new emotions
forgetting the old
I lay myself down
on the remains of my life
the heavy heart
grateful
my eyes turned to the givers
downwards
I drown in my memories
life and love I shed from me
almost too easily
this is where my future stops
my past decays
my present becomes eternity
now
forever
BC the longest night
