Autumn Is A Lie
Locations
October air whistles and kicks
Against every side of my skull
Chilling my heart again
I'm whisked away
To when life was easy
Autumn rests on my shoulders
Whispering memories in my ears
Of Charlie Brown and pumpkins
And hazy images of school
Where I'd paint and I'd wonder
It reminds me of being a child
When I didn't want anyone to kiss me
And I didn't have many friends
All that mattered was my time spent at home
I didn't worry about the future
I didn't have a past to miss
I cared more for the moon
And saw it more clearly than now
And now I seldom see a single star
Autumn is a melancholy lie
The idea that I was happier then
The idea that it only goes down from here
But as that one boy said in his poem
You're gonna be fine. You're gonna be fine.
