All This for a Brief Smile

This is an empty house, 
A house that's lost its soul. 
The laughter and joy that once echoed through it, 
Faded away with time and age. 

Summer is going fast, 
As the nights grow colder. 

Summer came and went, 
And took with it that feeling. 

Fall brings sorrow, 
It reminds you that time doesn't stop. 

Standing in the streets, 
The darkness of the city lights 
Washes over you. 

The joy of the summer fades, 
The sorrow of the fall is a current feeling.
