I always hated the scorching heat
Summer always brought
I could never escape it
The undesirable feeling
That came along
Was the kind of warmth
That was too warm
And uncomfortable
As the heat engulfed my body
In an embrace
I could not free myself from
Not allowing me to function
Travelling the span of my entire body
Like critters all over my skin
Leaving me soaked in sweat
You were the cool breeze
That pressed against my forehead
An angel passing through
In this free trial of hell
I don’t know if you’ll leave
Seconds after arrival
But I thank you
All the same
For the comfort you bring
At least
For a little while
I had a taste of heaven

Not allowing me to function
Travelling the span of my entire body
Like critters all over my skin
Leaving me soaked in sweat
You were the cool breeze
That pressed against my forehead
An angel passing through
In this free trial of hell
I don’t know if you’ll leave
Seconds after arrival
But I thank you
All the same
For the comfort you bring
At least
