Pumpkin Spice and everything nice came in season
Bringing a bone chilling wind that swirled around me
This time weather had nothing to do with the fall,
but still left me cold and empty like nights in November .
The color of my heart changed like leaves in seasons
turning dark crimson and fraying at the edges with heartbreak.
It fell from the highest branch and landed fast and hard
But its nature made sure it crumpled and died shortly there after.
Someone can fall in love with the way the leaves sound
beneath their boots laced together like their fingertips.
my heart found another pile of leaves to jump into,
But their heart didn't sound the way yours did beneath mine.
This morning I put on my jacket, the one you liked.
I walked with my headphones in against the wind
Heartbreak had me shivering and I held my jacket closer
Wishing you could warm my heart by holding it like you had.
My heart sat in the library today sipping hot chocolate
searching books for words to describe your sweet kisses
imagining they tasted like the swirls of chocolate on my tongue
My heart went back to summer, but was awoken with chills.
My heart was lit like fire that smelled of campfire smoke
It was beautiful and wild and danced freely in love
but the curious eyes grew bored and the fire died out
Leaving a heart that just got burned and had scars to prove it.
This evening I sat and watched the burnt auburn sky
reliving the moments that were carved in eerie designs.
These shaped my heart like faces of October pumpkins
put on display on my front porch for everyone to see.
Pumpkin Spice and everything nice came with the season
but still my heart remains lost in the cashmere woods.
Leaves like my heart will always wander into a new light
and maybe next year Ill be better equipped to handle the fall.
Like the visuals and the last sentance
