Seasonal Tragedy

When autumn arrived, I had not a clue Just a doom feeling that came out of no-where Finally not alone, because of you We pursued justice, you showed that you care We were a team that could not be broken Our strength and our drive would never have stopped We both had our reasons to be spoken The picture of us, could never be cropped But, as the bitter winter air arrived With pounding gray skies and snow all around While our friendship turned into love that thrived, You were killed and left me sprawled on the ground Your grave was a comfort, tears froze in snow How I’ve made it this long, I do not know Heidi Sands 9/28/19 Placed 4th in the Autumn Sonnet Contest.

Hi. Tom. John wanted an Autumn poem for the contest that isn't only scenery, but something like a memory, etc. It isn't fiction. Thank you for your comment on this. I appreciate it. :)
