Summer's Not Forever.
It started with a word,
Grew to a feeling,
A tree; reaching branches,
Weather’s never been so deceiving.
Believe me,
Tease me,
I’m breathing,
You’re seething,
Just leave me–
Still breathing, still breathing.
It’s plain to see
You’re needing me,
My favorite on-off enemy.
You’re still bleak,
I’m feeling weak.
But you can’t change the past,
And you say you really want me back.
I remember those
Late nights, Bright lights,
Flirting and fights,
Cliches,
Like lullabies.
Summer’s not forever,
I’ve realized.
No, summer’s not forever.
And I’m still breathing.
There’s pressure,
Amounting.
And my head won’t stop
Pounding.
And there’s feelings
Locked up in
This “Cold Heart” of mine.
And I’ll say
I wish these words could pierce your flesh.
A reminder to you I’m
“Not like the rest”
Look at me with those
Precious eyes
I’m no longer
Hypnotized.
It started so deceiving,
And weather’s not a feeling.
A tree has many branches,
And I stand by my words.
