Autumn leaves
somersaulting
across the road
like tiny
olympic gymnasts

Nothing ever feels so close to home like all alone
Nothing ever feels like home except for getting ******
I want to go back inside
I don't want to face the bright light of day
Don't get me wrong, I know it's not so bad
But everything was easier when nothing was all I had
This heart full of love is too heavy for me
This mind at peace is too steady for me to sleep
I miss the crashing waves of misery and fear
I miss the way I felt before I fell for you my dear

you laughed at me
the first time you saw
the bucket on a string
hanging from my neck
you asked me its function
I said it was for
when you break my heart
you said
I don't understand
simple I said
it's to catch the falling pieces
