For whatever the reason may be
I seem to have lost the ability to see
Everything around me is anything but bright
It’s dead black, like the middle of the night
These new dark ages that I’m in
Are probably the causes of a sin
What could I have possibly done, I wonder
That could have been counted as a blunder?
The night is forever here with me
Like a companion to hear my plea
An actual friend should be my guide
A real person should be by my side
I had a friend just a while before the darkness came
He was always there, but blast it! What was his name?
He was kind and always near by
Were all of his actions just a lie?
Now I remember
His name was November
He was so cool and smart
He had a really big heart
What happened to him, I wonder
Oh that’s right, He was torn asunder
The winter winds came and knocked him senseless
As soon as he hit the ground, he became breathless
He never got up again after that
His big heart squashed flat
Pieces of him in different places
His body cut to ribbons and laces
Winter kicked the ground with joy
For he had murdered the November boy
He turned to me and grinned smugly
His blue teeth were anything but ugly
‘You didn’t defend your friend’ he said with a smile
‘For that I will send you to a dark place for a while’
With the flip of his hand chilling air sliced my face
My eyes went dry and suddenly my lids shut like a case
Suddenly everything stopped
To my knees I dropped
Everything to me was dark
Winter had made his mark
My world had come to a halt
Of course it was my entire fault
That was my blunder, my biggest sin
I couldn’t save November from the gin
As the months flew by
All I wanted to do was cry
November was dead
It was my only dread
One day I felt a wisp air brush my hair
I turned around, still full of despair
I felt something gentle press against my eyes
Then I entered some kind of mental high
The coolness of the touch was delicious
I could tell that it wasn’t at all fictitious
As soon as it came the gentle press lifted
Suddenly the darkness around me rifted
I looked around to see autumn hanging around
There were gorgeous colored leaves on the ground
The air was soft and chilly, but comforting too
Taking the feeling in is all I wanted to do
I turned around to see him there
November as clear as autumn air
He stood there with a smile
He said, ‘It’s been a while’
My eyes softened at the sight of him
Seeing him smile made my head swim
My lips moved ‘How are you November?
I haven’t seen you since the first of December.’
He smiled at me again and said
‘Did you believe that I was dead?’
November walked over to me
And dropped to one knee
‘My dear, I could never leave you for long.
To do that would be very wrong.’
He pulled out a velvet box and opened it
Inside was a golden ring with a diamond bit
‘Marry me, please. So I won’t have to stay away
We can stay together forever and live by the day.’
His brown eyes were warm and sincere
Forever I would hold the memory dear
‘Yes, November, I’d love to marry you.’ I said
‘Alright,’ he picked me up, ‘but no more dread.’
We laughed together and smiled
Our adventure had been wild
For those days that I had been blind
I did learn things that are hard to find
Hold no regrets in this life you’ve been given
For only once can it be ridden
Oh my gosh! This took forever to write! Not only that but I started running out of rhymes. *coughrhymezonecough* anyway, as you can see it basically tells a story. Sorry if it drifted in places or if things didn’t fit together too well.
