November

November leaves are falling, but I can't let go

Echoes of the past are whispering, they won't leave me slow

It's that time again, when the shadows grow deep

Burdened by my heartbreak, I can't find sleep

Every year, the same cold wind blow

Memories of loves I used to know

Built-up stress, it shows on my skin

Hives of pain that bleed within

I try to hide, I try to run

But the pain's a shadow, never done

I close my doors, block out the light

Walking through my darkest night

It's unfair to the world I love

Caught in a storm I can't push above

I'm not built for this, this heavy weight

Carrying heartbreak, bearing my fate

Exhausted, worn thin, I fall apart

Bearing the sadness in my broken heart

Excuse me while I burden you all

My yearly fall, my mental crawl

January long past, I try to heal

But the ache remains, it's all too real

Year after year, I face this fight

In the cold November night

So here I stand, with tears unshed

Wishing I could leave this dread

Built up stress, it makes me bleed

I need some peace, I need to be freed
