Strong leaf

I am a warrior
Of the soul.
I am a fighter
Of our love.
I am a writer
Of our story.

Yet I am falling,
Falling Falling.
An autumn leaf,
Crushed to the ground,
Beneath careless feet,
I can no longer make a sound.

I am a warrior
Of self conflict.
I am a fighter
Of the truth.
I am a writer
Of self doubt.

I am nothing without the power of the sun,
and respiration is now undone.
With nothing left but dry skin and empty veins,
Can nothing save me? Not even this rain.
