Seasons, Like Feelings, Change

I Didn't Ask for Change

Gaze out, across rooftops bathed in night

As golden leaves fall, and the old year dies,

Gives way to Autumn... to Winter

To a state of mind best left untouched

Which holds me fast in Winter's icy grip

Even when the Summer sun surrounds me...

Let the shortened days and lengthened nights

Be dark... just not of spirit

I don't want to be the only person in your life

I only want to be the one you don't want to leave

I never asked for you to let me go

So I'll keep one foot in the door,

But keep the other poised to run...

Never thought I'd feel alone

Surrounded by so many

Where no one touches 

And there are no soft moments

I just need someone to take my hand

And show me, not just say

That everything will be alright.

I don't want to see every day as another battle...

I want to write pretty things again.
