Work Text:

FOREVER AUTUMN
By Micandra


Hannibal Heyes turned his back to the window of the hotel room. He looked down at the floor, anything to avoid looking at the forlorn six-shooter laying on the table. He started pacing, which was not a good idea, for he wasn't watching where he was going. And he ran into one of the single beds. He sat down on it and, with a groan, buried his head in his hands.

After some time, Heyes raised a tear streaked face. With an effort, he heaved himself off the bed. He went over to his bed and sat down. He reached for the saddle bag at the end of the bed and pulled out his journal and a pen. After a few minutes thought, he started writing.

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now your not here.

I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them
Now your not here.

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like the leave on the breeze you blew away.

Through autumn's golden gown we use to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'Cuz your not here

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever altered
'Cuz your not here

Closing the journal, he hugged it to his chest. As if he could use it as a shield against the heartache.
