the smell of fall

it smells like fall 
but feels like winter

i can only barely hear your laugh now 
the cold makes me so 
tired

i strain my eyes to see your smile
but all i see are storm clouds 
and there is no sunset tonight 

i stand on my roof and smell the
apples on the ground 
the horses in the field 

but i don't smell you
i only smell the fall
