Autumn Leaves

Behind me a ghost whispers
What if you could turn back time?
What if you could do everything right?
It gazes into my eyes,
Its glowing orbs burning as bright as the sun
“I can do what needs to be done.”
My eyes blink open,
I hear a faint ticking of a clock
Tick, tock.
And the leaves whisper.
