september

mid september

weather starts to change

humidity slips to crisp

refreshing air brings pain

it blows in the memories

of a past now gone

that once familiar scent

your go to comfort song.

I used to love this time

when the seasons turn

it reignited my passions

made my heart warmly burn

but now the clean air

doesn’t taste so pure

a once bold beautiful love,

now plainly demure
