Autumn's Fragrance

Death and beauty mixes up the gentle balance of
Learning from the past
As we try to figure out how to move forward
Nothing ever lasts

I spent the past months
creating a simple story
For my friends and myself
The other story lives out in the western country
Just as true but withheld

Tears leave my eyes
Feeling like I did a year ago
Painful pieces
Pushing up from what I pushed below

I try to be gentle as I disentangle
While keeping my vision straight
Aimed at my own interests and my endeavors
I keep my gaze away

But one glimpse upsets
All the walls I had been able
To build around my self
Their pain, my gain
Am I a horrible person
For looking out for my health

Tears leave my eyes
Feeling like I did a year ago
Painful pieces
Pushing up from what I pushed below

As the leaves fall
I read through my myth and I
Identify the holes
Autumn is the fragrance of easy answers
Not continuing to hold
