The Fall

The Fall...

Fall

A Poem by Colton Warr

As a brown and crinkled leaf does

I fall to you

And as a hopeless romantic does

I give my all to you

As a young child does

I crawl to you

And as a lost soul does

I call to you

 

As this air turns from warm to cold

All I need is you to hold

As a broker in their prime

To you, my heart is sold

 

As these colors around me change

All I need is for you to breathe my name

As a million dollar song

To you, I owe my fame

 

As these holidays become more festive

All I need is your best, then best it

As a dream inside of my head

To you, I have invested

 

As these clouds begin to precipitate in the sky

All I need is you by my side

As an addict takes another dose

To me, you can give your eyes

 

As a brown and crinkled leaf does

I fall to you

And as a hopeless romantic does

I give my all to you

As a young child does

I crawl to you

And as a lost soul does

I call to you

 

My heart

Don’t tear it apart

About you since the start

So funny, beautiful, sexy and smart

I was so afraid to do this, so afraid to restart

So please take my hand, hold me tight, I don’t ever want you to depart

You’re the reason for this change in my weather

As the leaves do the summer, you’re the one I miss

Perhaps I am a leaf, how could I fall like this

If there are others, like a snake I will hiss

You are my intimacy, my kiss

I want to reminisce

My bliss

 

As a brown and crinkled leaf does

I fall to you

And as a hopeless romantic does

I give my all to you

As a young child does

I crawl to you

And as a lost soul does

I call to you

Reading this made me think of someone on a swing, not swinging but watching, maybe writing in a book. And this person only swings when the wind blows with that nice fall wind of maple and pine.

The words paint a charming picture.
