Fall is the Time of Death

I worry for my friends and family.

They could die at any moment.

Though, one time is settled in cement,

Because fall is the time of death.

I wish I could have saved you.

I should have tried talking to you.

But there's only so much to do,

When fall is the time of death.

I didn't want to hear it,

But Dad had to call to tell me

When you could barely even breathe.

Because fall is the time of death.

I could not believe it

I'm never going to see you again.

I've wasted the time we were given.

Because fall is the time of death.

When I say, "I hate fall."

I don't hate the pumkins and leaves.

I hate the times when tears are on my sleeves,

Because fall is the time of death.
