The Winds of Fall
Oh winds of fall How strong you are! You carry the leaves fallen off the large unique and royal trees. For you know, To make the tree majestic, You must take away the chains that bind it to it's past Which are nothing but a burden of a previous spring. Why then can't you take away my sorrows? My pain and my longing of hers? When you know it is a string that strangles me It suffocates my heart when I am bound by nothing but the aimless thoughts of what it could have been. Oh winds of fall I beg you, make me empty again So I can flourish once more But alas, I realize That's where I differ from the tree. It sheds its leaves for the leaves do not have a part to add to its tale, While mine begins with a love that has failed.
