Cheylenn Woodley Poet Free verse

We laugh, we cry

For some reason, 
I love the sound of crunchy leaves:
CRUUUUNCH
It reminds me of the last I saw you
We cry, we laugh.
No matter what the leaves will fall

For some reason,
I enjoy the warm smell of rain, falling on the flowers:
It reminds me of the times I'd cry for you.
We cry, we laugh.
No matter what the leaves will fall

For some reason,
I adore the smoke that emits from the firepit:
it reminds me of the fights we had.
We cry, we laugh.
No matter what the leaves will  fall 

For some reason, 
I hate the kids laughing:
it reminds me of those times we'd spend together.
We cry, we laugh.
No matter the leaves will fall.
