down on me
from the gray sky
at the same speed that
the cold tears streemed
from my eyes
then my tear ducts ran dry
and i decided that i
would be able to piece my
heart back together
the shower passed and i
stood to go home i looked
at the crimson leaves where
my head lay
they formed a heart
and i knew that eventually
the leaves would grow back
on the tree and be green again
eventually i will love again
until then i will enjoy the
september fall....
