Autumn, by Nicholas Ryan Sampson

Autumn

Autumn sneaks in

preceding dormancy

Leaves take on new beauty

with nothing left in them but a fall from grace

Individually insignificant

while masses burden

The colors give the illusion of burning out

but we really just fade away

(2012)

#Autumn #DeathLife

Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like

I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response

Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could

Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting

I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you

I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back

I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can

Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes

The pen must be  mightier than the sword  For there is nothing that  will spill your guts faster  than a bit of ink that says 

There is a girl and I love her and I have loved her since the beg… Or so it seems to me as I only became conscious

I was like a rain cloud over a small garden and dammit if you weren’t that garden so full of flowers that I fell in love

Life is an uphill struggle Nothing comes easy and only hard work pays off I don’t like hard work was my 5 word protest

I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well

There seems to be a drought in my… but who knows if it is the cause or the result of the war raging within me

So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
