with the sting of a november rain
memories come flooding back
as rusted leaves begin to fall
from autumn's somber palette

september songs on august winds
pencil your name on our dance card
for the final cotillion where you wore
grandmother's black crepe dress

how beautiful your profile
an ivory cameo surrounded by gold
how gracefully you glide like Odile
on the darker side of midnight

the scent of lavender fills the air
and lilac shades your martyr's eyes
the roses you loved petal themselves
and willingly die beneath your feet

as the music begins you turn we see
half of your face is blown away
into the nightmare that has become
september's song your anniversary waltz
