That Fall
The wind on her face
The slight retrace; of what once was.
The warmth of his cheek
The breeze of the air; forever there
A whole life time passes in a minute
Yet it never seems long enough
The darkness forever inclosing
The light returning at dawn
Knowing what can not be forgiven
She runs faster than before
Not letting her breath catch her
She soon gracefully falls
He sprints to go and save her
The tragedy in it all; the silence of the moment
The season that is fall
With one last glance
They know the truth of it all
They were in love; but could no longer stall
She fell asleep in his arms
He tried to wake her; tried it all
She could not be woken; nor the trees of the fall
She slowly died beside him; and so did his heart -that fall

I've been writing poetry since I was 10. I've been using my imagination since I could talk. I'm a Native American with Mexican Heritage. I am also a recovering codependent and Chicana Feminist. My poetry might be triggering, so I caution whoever wants to read any of my poetry. I've taken English classes (and Spanish classes in college), however, the poems I post are pre-college. I will eventually most more post-college poems once I get back into the swing of writing poetry again. I'm applying for a Masters in Social Work, yet writing is my love that eventually led to my desire to know and help people.
