leaves

I took a knife and sliced it 2x2
I left part of my heart with you
years repaired the damage fared
I've grown to love another

as the air turns crisp
and the leaves start to fall
your face reappears
and I wonder

I hope that piece
keeps you warm at night
I hope it wraps you in
a loving light

I hope you've found peace
in our parting of ways
and a love like I've found
will find you one day
