I Remember Halloween
The sun went down too quick,
Our own planet on that hill.
We'd settled for the tricks,
Or treats took form of pills.
The leaves has just started falling,
Gave life to dead, grey streets.
I never heard myself calling,
As I clung tight to my seat.
I was so dead to fall,
Inside that cold sidewalk.
It was so hard to be,
The September we used to see.
You just let go,
And I let myself fall with you.
Never have I felt so cold,
Never have you seemed so blue.
The car ran off the ledge.
The water so cold and null.
In our cancerous explosion of love,
The stars above seemed to dull.
As we lay on the shore,
We realized we were wrong.
Everything we thought we knew about music,
Everything we though we knew about love.
And you told me, your voice still strong,
"Say every word like it's a poem,
And your voice becomes the song."
I don't remember the end,
Or any day between.
But I'll always remember your face,
I remember Halloween.
