Autumn

The days are cold and dark
There is no color no life
Simply shades of white and gray
The nights are colder still
Alone I gaze out at the world
All the hate all the controversy
I try to quiet my troubled mind
With thoughts that can only lead to chaos
Love is dead buried long gone
One simple thing is all I desire
So close but just out of reach
Help me please
Bring back the color the light
The warmth only you can give
I'm so cold so alone
Cloaked in the frigid darkness of my solitude
Withering
Like a flower in autumn
