Autumn makes me miss you more

Your brown eyes

Long lashes

Blond hair pulled back

Blue nails

Your hat with the pom pom

Coat with the many zippers

Platform shoes that you were so proud of

The way you would

Throw the leaves in the air

Jump in the piles

That we spent spent hours working on

The way you would

Look up at the sky and say

"I think it's time for snow"

The way you would look at me

Sending sparks throughout

Like it was autumn inside of me

Whirling around

Different colors and emotions

The way we would

Talk for hours

Sit in silence

Jump around the yard

Act like 5 year old's

The way you left me

That other girl

The way autumn is for me now

Each leaf drenched with a memory

Every pom pom filled with that autumn

The games I now see filled with joy

All of autumn makes me miss you more

  • I really hope she wins

    I knew this was coming 

    I knew he would run again 

    Every four years 

    And yet it still comes 

    With a shock 

    Then she stepped in 

    Giving me hope 

    Calling him out 

  • Prepared

    Every day when I wake up

    I feel as if

    There is a wave above me

    Ready to crash

    Or as if I'm holding on

    To a hand

    As I hang off a cliff

    And they might let go

    I try to be prepared
