Seasonal effective disorder - Autumn and Winter.
We washed ourselves in Autumn leaves
Scrubbed clean of all we left behind
Smiles and miles away from home,
The cold chill in the air isn't a breeze.
Slated roofs and paths of gold, oh I adore,
cobbled steps we trickled down,
And I melted under your...
Hands held, breath cold, your perfume left a stain the air.
I held your heart into my chest and swallowed my pride,
Forbidden words, feelings of profound stillness echoed in my mind,
I'd say I love you, but we both know I lied.
...
Trees bare branches beyond our reach,
Stripped of all they knew,
Boxes and bags stacked behind our door
Hand prints unwashed on the coffee table left me watching more,
Hand prints on my pillow left me sore,
Your scent tastes my collar and runs down my spine,
Finally we explore the outside world, except you're not mine.
...
Leaves and sticks brush shelter down streets of stone,
Hills and twisting paths take us around,
Rubbing noses in the train station
Signals our last meeting
Where we called home.
Dark winter is only a bus away,
Stocked on promises of reunited,
Holding you in my arms, I shed a tear,
All I knew has changed and I was to blame,
I say goodbye but never forget your name.
...
We washed ourselves in Autumn leaves,
Scrubbed clean of summer's shine,
All we held was never mine,
Crumbling like the stems under our step,
Memories of it all is all I have left.
