Changing with the Leaves - Ruminate

The darkness

Is coming

I can’t hide

From the cold

This winter

Consumes me

Feeling numb

Is getting old

When snow falls

I’m empty

Emotion

Has left me

My colors

Fade to gray

And my hope

Fades away

And every year

I feel the same

It’s a cycle that

I can’t escape

I can’t keep friends

I struggle to cope

Life’s closing in

I’m losing hope

I’m just not

Content with

The life that

I’m left with

And this hope

That I’ve had

It’s all wrong

It’s gone bad

No one helps

No one can

I’m stuck here

In my head

Can’t help it

Can’t stop it

Just rotting

Can’t solve it

And every year

I feel the same

It’s a cycle that

I can’t escape

I can’t keep friends

I struggle to cope

Life’s closing in

I’m losing hope

I’m calling changing stations

Cuz I can’t escape this pain

I’m calling out your

Calling out your

Calling out your name

I am fading into gray

And I’m calling out your

Calling out your

Calling out your name
