AUTUMN OF LIFE 🍂🍂🍂

Discoloured autumn leaf shed by the tree unceremoniously...

lying crumpled on the ground

spineless...

with the broken parts

cannot support the mess 

that have carved itself in..

everytime i pretend to breathe

I stink of drunken apologies

for the sins

I am yet to commit..

I gather all the shards 

piece by piece

from the folds of

this pale face

and put them in the bags

underneath my eyes 

no wonder the past hurts

everytime i try to sleep

As my knotted fear

seems to strangle me 

in the stillness of the night

you are holding the rope 

from the one end

as I hold it from another....
