October Leaves

If I can see the Sun
then why am I still
so cold?
Watching the leaves dying
just to be
picked up
again

I'm as naked as the trees
I'm as frozen as the ground
I'll keep watching the leaves
as we both fall down

So I'll follow October
as she slowly
walks away
I'm sure I'll get it
right
next time
I promise
