that would be a lie

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
