Once vibrant pink and proud,
pretty poisonous and so deliciously enticing
Now empty stem and naked green,
colours scattered on the ground
Discarded summer sadness left laying in the grass
Brief beauty of natures delights
kissing the season, departing fast

It hurts,

The loneliness?
The late nights?
The scattered progression?
The thirst you have for what you love?

No.

The feeling, we’re digging graves to opportunities we haven’t met yet.

Come to me in darkness and pull me into the light

Kisses in the car didn’t seem to reach as far as I thought they would
The taste of you was sweet but only for a while

*** in the dark didn’t seem to light the spark that I hoped it might
A backseat romance dead on arrival

Your hands on my skin wouldn’t let me win this game that we were playing
I rolled the dice anyway
