Harsh

  

"Harsh"
~ ~ ~
I stepped out
Upon the lawn
The wind blew cold
Harsh
Against my face
~
Through the leaves
Almost reaching
Crying out in some attempt
For me again
To care about this place
~
To care about this place
This sharp edge of lonely
That hovers endless
Every night
~
The tempting calm
Of warm soft sun
Floating timeless
Gentle light
~
Gentle light
Such an illusion
Harsh
It will scorch
Your back is turned
~
I'm no fool
I've learned my lesson
Besides
There's nothing left
To burn
.
