My love lies in the chilly air

I’ve always loved the autumn

Costumes and candy on halloween 

Turkey and family on thanksgiving 

Bright colors and cute clothes

The season gave me joy, 

But as i grew up it gave peace

I love the sweaters and scarfs, 

The pumpkin spice lattes and cookies, 

But my love for autumn is no longer in the objects that come with it

My love lies in the chilly air

The laughter 

The feeling that begins on September 1st and lasts forever in the memory’s 

The feeling that makes school better

That makes you feel like a movie

The feeling that makes me feel alive,

And that’s why I love autumn

    Today I've walked around school in a haze

    I don't think I want to understand

  • Halloween

    I miss Halloween

    Not because it changed

    But I did

    I miss going with my parents and my brother

    And stuffing my face with candy

    I miss meticulously planning out a costume

  • The Season of Death

    Death reaches his hands

    Shrivels leaves

    Rips them up

    Soon the ghosts and ghouls will scream

    They've waited all year for Halloween

     But this death is not a scary thought

    In fact it's comforting
