while summer's golden day's fade to gray
the love we had for each other is ever so slow
dying
like the aspen leaves in autumn turning brown and withering
falling to the ground never to rise again
left disoriented an drifting down into a dreaded disarray
hardened by the bitter chill of Winter’s cold breath
worn down from the weight of loneliness , pain and fear
the guiding light on the edge of shadows blurs as it weakens
what is it I can say
what can be told that wasn't already said
I could tell you all about the beautiful sunrise
a mosaic with it's bright colors blazing across the sky
I could describe the first rays of dawns grey light
as they crested the tree line
and I could tell you I'm fine but
that would be a lie
