Frost on the Leaf


I am the frost on the leaf, desperately clinging to what is already gone

I am the frost on the leaf, the absence of color on the red that you have spilt for me

I am the frost on the leaf, I keep your decaying form company

I am the frost on the leaf, hiding in your shadow until you finally step away and leave me to melt under the sun of reality.

Meme'sMind

When the world becomes too much to bear, she retracts from reality, writing a better one or losing herself in movies and music. Very unsure about the future but wants to be a mother.
