Turning Circles

Sarah’s laughter moves down to her legs and renders them useless to stand
In slow motion sinks down to the rest and covers the sun with her hand
This bittersweetness is easy to hide
She keeps it behind her smile
She’s watching the moment from the other side
Cause it all will be gone in a while
Sarah’s turning circles
Round and round she goes
She keeps looking back, eyes closed
Sarah carefully crosses her driveway as the world around her changes its hue
Burning leaves freeze her feet to the ground invoking a time she once knew
Sarah can’t breathe for the pain in her chest
When she thinks of those times in the past
Beautiful memories of days she loved best
Just remind her that nothing can last
Sarah’s turning circles
Round and round she goes
She keeps looking back, eyes closed
Colors of autumn for the leaves that have died
She can’t seem to reconcile
Watching the moment from the other side
It all will be gone in a while
Sarah’s turning circles
Round and round she goes
She keeps looking back
Sarah’s turning circles
Round and round she goes
She keeps looking back, eyes closed, eyes closed
