Colourful Sunlit Autumn Leaves Floating In A Pond by Phil_Bird

He waded further in than any other
peeling back the layers
catching the dead leaves
as I sought to hide myself
Scared to disrobe my mind
my heart
Duped by the easyness
tricked by imaginary signs
leading me astray
I fooled myself into thinking I’d know
which one
and when
Being led by a foolish heart.
I have finally retreated
abandoned the future I had desired
the appeal now lost.
One silent, one gone
and another gazing from above
still cradling my heart.
In truth
I’ve now let go of the notion of anyone
except myself.
I have always been here
and I will never leave
