Return Me

There’s something you have of me
The memory of dark skies
Trapped in words faded, unspoken
And a letter soaked in tears
Burn that soft paper return me, o what is mine

 It was fall, when I heard the first leaves rustling
Being crushed under my naked feet
The branch of that autumn; dried still trembles
Make the tremble stop 
And make the branch drop
Return me…

 Drenched in rain
A little less
A little more
A part of me hovers beside you,
Return that part of me 
Return me...

 A part of my heart,
Filled with love,
Love from the stars
And the universe,
Has been lost, in your musing
The part, which had a million tears
Send me those..
Return me...

 The things I supposed, I assumed
The regret, that absently was there
The promise unfulfilled
Never made…
The stings unintentional
And mistaken…

And a pardon as a gift
With affection and well wishes
Return me o what is mine
Through everything between
So in peace we sleep
