Our desert (haiku)

I look through photos
Our life through the four seasons
Back through the old ones. 

Blossoming in spring
With all the diverse flowers
Bright, happy color. 

Scorching in summer, 
Our A/C broken, so we
Leave our windows down

Falling again, we're 
Like leaves on her cherry tree
Now dreading the frost

Tumbling like winter
From the black clouds above her, 
Now we are just cold

Once brazen, now I 
Hesitate through her new life, 
Living so unsure

Scared to ask what's wrong
Betraying nothing, hiding
Our arid desert.

Something is so off, 
Avoiding each other's eyes, 
Nothing like before. 

Its a stark contrast
One could read on our faces
Casual menace. 

Still breaking us off
And raking up all the leaves
Was the hardest thing.

Our desert (haiku)
