autumn in the hallway lurking like a ghost the animal inside me strikes its battle pose shaking when i’m waking eyes lost like a doe listen for my heartbeat find it in the snow dying in the corner covered in the frost made it through last winter what will this one cost lion heart, i called you you said i’m the lamb when you see my weakness is that all that i am? asked you for your number you put it in my hand ate like i was starving threw up in the sand i watch from the tree line lurking like a ghost lingering in autumn waiting for the snow
