Summer came and went And with it my soul split and shattered You threw the rock But held the welder to put me back together I reflected only what was there And there wasn't much So I became a window Birds flew and grass grew But I was stuck Rooted to the spot as if I were an oak Weighed down by branches That gave nothing but took all No leaves grew Only thorns And I was protected Summer came and went And ended as it began Broken Branches snapped Thorns dulled And I was left Grass withered Birds flew south Trees were cut for fire And I was no different Ragged, I waited for summer to return But when you did You only went Summer came But no longer

Summer Came
Summer came and went And with it my soul split and shattered You threw the rock But held the welder to put me back together I reflected only what was there And there wasn't much So I became a window Birds flew and grass grew But I was stuck Rooted to the spot as if I were an oak Weighed down by branches That gave nothing but took all No leaves grew Only thorns And I was protected Summer came and went And ended as it began Broken Branches snapped Thorns dulled And I was left Grass withered Birds flew south Trees were cut for fire And I was no different Ragged, I waited for summer to return But when you did You only went Summer came But no longer
