Autumn Awoke Darkly

Autumn awoke darkly from its misty bed
when swelling in your heart,
blood turns a cycle of blue, purple and red
Me, I'm shivering,
stuck within her store bought style
bathed in the light of her million watt smile
like a dear caught in headlights
like this frozen world feels tonight

Oh everybody's in love with being in love
and everybody's love is in need of love
and everybody's heart is opening to the world
on display for every lonely boy and aching girl

This morning I watched as the rain fell
like a magic spell
the turning leaves lit the skyline aflame
this feeling I'll never feel the same
and when the night comes the stars appear
every one a lamp light over lovers holding near
makes me feel like I can conquer it all
if I just could trace her last phone call

Oh and everybody's in love with everybody
yeah everybody's love is in need of somebody
somebody to make it all feel less like purgatory
and to be forever happy like some children's story

But sometimes it's all lies to me
sometimes it seems like naivete
the days when I'm stranded on my island
the nights when I plot destruction
on every stupid, content jerk boyfriend
but then...other times, I...

I arise darkly, no mood for the sun
a lonely kick in my heart,
slowing down the blood when I run
into the vast open fields of autumn
searching for her store bought style
like a ship lost, looking for starlight
like this frigid sky feels tonight
And oh how I'm shivering...

Autumn arose darkly,
fireflies stop sparking
and I've christianed myself 'soul drifter'
a-looking for her grace in the ether
nowhere to run
baby you've got nowhere to hide
tonight

Wonderful write, sometimes we go through such darkness, to enjoy better the light that without any doubt will shine again.

Excellent, soul drifter, love this name!

Love,
Margherita
