Falling With the Leaves

Lately I've been falling with the leaves
To the sound of your breathing
Every time you inhale
Another part of me drifts down
And I'm scattered on the ground
Like you're scattered through my mind
I keep trying to rake myself together
Into a pile on your porch step
But I just can't fight the wind
So I'm left here wasting time
By filling up my notebooks
With "writer's block" folded up
Into the crossroads of my brain
So you're my excuse not to write
Last night I watched the moon shine
And I swear I saw your face
I made a wish on a plane passing by
Cause nothing is ever as it seems
Mistake a plane for a star
Mistake a name for who you are
I read your smile like a love letter
Saying
"I don't regret her.. I just don't get her"
I was always jealous of the porch lights
Cause from far they look like the moon
They are what they aren't
Until they finally burn out
