The Autumn Leaf

I can feel things aren’t what they used to be
I had never felt this lonely before
It took so much time for me to realize
That I never really had the keys to this door

It’s just another game that fate is playing with me
Another day leading me to the emptiness of life
Showing me all that I once used to have
Forcing me to accept this pain that’s killing me inside

I never should have walked this way back then
But it had felt like a beautiful dream
Now the thorns on my path have shown me so much
Reality will never be what it seem

It’s just so hard to face this world for me
Everything feels like another new deception
The winds that used to feel so calming
Are now constant reminders of my regression

It’s like falling and knowing no one will catch you
Like the autumn leaf drying to its death
Like that aroma that lingers for only a while
And you feel it fade away with every breath
