Autumn Leaves

Sometimes the world feels at your fingertips
Intoxicated high, could very well fly
Making mistakes on purpose
No one is perfect, neither are you

Feelings down on manic lows
Weightless thrown, drop the stone
Shining steel on velvet fingers
No blood spilled, the thought still lingers

Tears fill my eyes
Burning mascara filling the air
Muffles my cries

Hatred and painful glances
A blow fallen
My wall never advancing

No recoveries from now on
Everything open, relayed on a sleeve
Yet no one offers help
No one gives me what I need to survive

Autumn leaves in a gust of wind
Dying trees b
                         e
                             n
                                 d
                                     i
                                        n
                                            g

The last leaf falls into my palm
Don't bother with the swings instead.
