i miss autumn and the way the sun shone through your hair.
                you told me mine looked like fire.



cold steel against my flesh is all i want right now.
           because it's the closest thing to your lips against my neck.
   your teeth on my wrists.
your eyelashes brushing my thighs every time you blink.



i miss autumn and the way the leaves fell from the trees.
             the way you fell to your knees at my feet.



has it really been two seasons since you left me?
   i don't remember snow that stuck out, stark against my hair.
  [why didn't the fire melt the snow?]
i don't remember aprilshowersthatbringmayflowers.
             the sun shines too bright without you.



i miss autumn and the way i could see your breath.
       i knew you were alive. and our breaths would float to the heavens.
  together.



i can't stop drinking the liquor your breath constantly smelled like.
              i wonder if i poured it over my head and lit it on fire
  if maybe then you'd come back to me.



you said my hair looked like fire in the autumn.

if this makes sense to you;
please explain it to me.

Wonderful word play. It's a lovely poem. As to what it is about? It's all relative, I think.

Because I am sure you know what you wanted it to be about, but if you come back years later and read it, you will be able to remember why you wrote it (possibly) but it will have taken on a different meaning for you that time. And we all take a little differently.
