Why is now normal
What happened to last week
I’m stuck in the past again
This time-it’s permanent

It feels like me
Happiness was too much to ask for
My stomach wants to **** me though
I need an antidote
But yet—
what do I do
when at night,
in my lowest moments,
I still think of you?

And sometimes,
even on my darkest days,
I still think
of what I would say.

And the wind blows
that bittersweet scent
of a hot summer day—
it makes me think of nothing
but the memories.

I think of how
we weren’t meant to be.

And it’s weird,
’cause I feel like
when I think of love,
I only think of lessons.

But this time?
It wasn’t a bad one
I had to learn.

I learned
that we came
into each other’s lives
before we were ready—
and just maybe,
our foundation
wasn’t steady.

And just when
I start to forget again,
the wind blows
that bittersweet scent
that pulls me
right
back…

It reminds me
of the girl
who loved
before she knew how.

She felt as though
she loved too quiet
while you loved too loud.

And when it ended,
yes—it hurt.

But not because
somebody broke her,
but because
they both held on
too tight.

And sometimes I think of how
two souls held on too tight,
because two hearts wanted it,
but just couldn’t get it right.

We tried.
God knows—we tried.

But we were two people
whose love wasn’t enough.

So we left—
not out of hatred,
but because staying
would’ve ruined the memories
of those hot summer days.
a take on love that came to early to handle and the memories that linger even when its gone
Shine with smart
Start with smile
Stamp in stage
Stem in spirit

Summer skies are a dark, fathomless blue
Enlivened by what was to come, me and you
Hands intertwined to imagination
The rain, the scent of wet earth became our rejuvenation
Entrancing Arizona monsoons bring us together
Praying the down poor and amalgamation could keep us
Dancing in rain forever
And ever
And ever
And ever
Clamorous thunder echoes poetically in my heart
Lightning dances through pitch black skies
Summer’s promise we shall never part
We become spirits of the desert
Entangled with love
It comes crashing down
When I see a glint of light above
The sun shone and the light returned
Dying to be numb
To not feel irreparable burn
With the light comes dark
Your face contorts
All is lost
I knew it would come
I retain my broken heart
My soul
My tears
Like dying moss
The sun peeks through the clouds
I feel the thunderous storm approaching
Excruciating and Loud
Not from the skies
But from your eyes
When the rain evaporates your heart dies
I hope
I pray
I wish
For summer rain to revive your soul
I will suffer through seasons
To again feel whole
Flowing with culture
Glowing with heritage
Blooming with Nation
