A Day

The sun isn't shining

A day, a day

That swayed past May

Who’s leaves withered and fell

Unto the ground they lay

A sight, a smell

A laugh, a tell

A day, a day

That I wish I could see

The day where the leaves

Grow whole again

My heart seethes

And our eyes don’t meet

I wish it were to be

A day again

A day, a day

Once it turned May

The leaves withered and fell

Unto the blackness they dwell

A tear so bitter

A smile so sweet

Swathing swords of self

Who’s reliance remains

A nest so pure

A heart so gold

I even thought that you were my cure

As it takes hold

It grips so tight

The only thing I feel

Is the cold take hold

The night begins

And the day is gone

Behind us wherein

More troubles ahead

The only cure

Is the road ahead

Where perhaps it may be

A day again
