i chased you for so long
gave up all i had
was so hard to do
but without you i went mad
yes i felt invincible
once i made you mine
what was before a shadow
the sun now chose to shine
my skin began to burn
sweat dripped from the heat
oblivious to the sun
as the concrete burned my feet
stranded in the open
no willow here or there
refuge under my own shirt
an act of pure despair
a man becomes a fool
when all that can be seen
is greener grass and then forgets
to bring his own sunscreen
