I Steal the Leaves - Priscilla Hernandez

I bring the daylight with my spells

That light will fade where my shadow dwells

My voice arises in this song

that brings a silence deeper than a tomb

And I could grant any wish you dream

for all the promises I shall not keep

this way we’re linked in each other’s chains

and thus the cycle runs again

I am the chaos that brings the order back

Rush every second and then stop the time

As dead and breathless as any newborn life

Can be both shapeless or graceful like swans are

I… I… I steal the leaves

But I’ll bring them back in spring

And I could grant any wish you dream

For all the promises I shall not keep

This way we’re linked in each other’s chains

And thus the cycle runs again

I’m the open window.

I am the closed door

When I say maybe.

I state not anymore I am your courage/ I am your inner doubt

When I push forward I make you step back

I… I… steal the leaves

But I’ll bring them back in spring

I steal the leaves
