[FONT=Times New Roman]November[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]It’s November, it’s autumn now,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]The leaves carpet the ground,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]I don’t care, I don’t see it, [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]My eyes are coated in a film of gossamer,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]The world is a different place to me, since you left.[/FONT]

 

[FONT=Times New Roman]I once loved sharing the turning colours of the trees with you,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]The leaves in their jackets of greens, reds and browns,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Bringing a vibrant flame effect to the countryside,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]But all I see now, is the inside of my mind,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]It’s always winter there, it’s cold, it’s dead, I’m alone.[/FONT]

 

[FONT=Times New Roman]My heart is in hibernation, it sleeps unsettled,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]The rhythmic beat of it in my chest,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]The only indication of continued life,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]But is it life as I once knew it?[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Or is it just existence, like a rock or a stone.[/FONT]

 

[FONT=Times New Roman]My mind is unconcerned with the changing seasons,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]They are inconsequential when all is said and done,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]They will happen regardless of me, of you, of us,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]It’s timeless, it has it’s own agenda and laws,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]It stops or flows for no-one or nothing.[/FONT]

 

[FONT=Times New Roman]I thought my love was like that once,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]It had it’s own seasons of warmth and light,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]And pleasantly nurtured the life in me,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]It went on and I had no control over it,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]It was my life-force, it was my reason to be.[/FONT]

 

[FONT=Times New Roman]But now it is winter in me, cold, dead and asleep,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Nothing grows in this climate, only me, older,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]I want to feel the sun in my heart again,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Like it was with you, like it was with us,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Without your embers though, it won’t happen, it can’t.[/FONT]

 

[FONT=Times New Roman]So I sit alone in my icy landscape, thoughts frozen in time,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]The days melt into one, the only melt there is now,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]It once was my heart for you, but now it’s just time,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]The thing I’ve got so much of, when all I want is less,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]The future has endless amounts of it, filled with memories.[/FONT]

 

[FONT=Times New Roman]Have all my summers been lived through, I ask,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Is it forever autumn in my heart and winter in my thoughts?[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Will I ever bask in the summer warmth of love again?[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Or am I destined to walk this tundra alone forever,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Where my footsteps go in circles, and things never end.[/FONT]

 

[FONT=Times New Roman]I dream one day, soon, if I have a choice,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]To be warm in though and motive,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]I desire the sun to come over the horizon of my heart again,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]And illuminate me in the darkness I reside in now,[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]I’ll look up and smile, memories being now without emotion.[/FONT]

We turned the clocks back

I think that's jerky

So I'll just focus on

Eating turkey
