Fall To Black

"arting" by lolamouse

The summer heat has overstayed its welcome

and autumn chill is finally in the air

The gold and yellow fall down to the earth

and when I think of you, I fall to black.

October's fading light brings melancholy

Spirits resurrected from their graves

Your ghost haunts dusty corners of my memory

I see you in my dreams and fall to black.

You came to me so suddenly

You left that way as well

I try to be okay with it, but

Sometimes it's just hell.

The morning sun awakens tired limbs

but soon there will be frost upon the grass

Without a winter, there can be no spring

I close my eyes and let it fall to black.
