In the fall, we circle through the leaves

and talk about the little ones.

And we smile, but never say too much.

The moment always ishing.

One by one the neighbors? lights come on.

Our October day is almost gone.



I know the border lines we drew between us

keep the weapons down,

keep the wounded safe;

I know our antebellum innocence

was never meant to see the light of our armistice day.



In the spring, we climbed the rolling hills

and talked about our budding plans.

And we smiled, our faces like a mirror

showing us our secret sides.



But then the fights:

the sharp words splintering the night,

how I couldn't be what you?d need?

but oh how I could make you bleed?



I know the border lines we drew between us

keep the weapons down,
