The Ash

I can unleash like a train,
roaring down a track.
You don't want me in your face,
when i've knocked a couple back.

These days Im quiet,
you make me still.
My head fills up with words,
I bend to your will.

And you're just there,
you're just you.
A smile whose corners grew and grew and grew.

All in good time
A walking crawl to vine
From the moment that you wake
Deep breaths and solitary states

Here thunder, roar.
Here raindrops, hum.
My big old empty house
becomes a drum. (?)
It begs the question,
did you try enough.
Don't bring me in from the cold,
the streetlights are warm enough.

You're something..better
Takes my breath away.
When I fall down like a fool,
All leaves turn gray.
