seems i haven’t seen leaves on trees
in what feels like one thousand centuries
summer, summer where are you
spring, spring come and come anew
illusional
delusional
sticky skin through september
our love was blessed by the weather
by small smiles and glassy eyes,
your guile and little lies
exhale comfort
inhale the air of another, your lover
i remember when it didn’t beat too quiet or too loud
late october, the arrival of pain
serious feelings couldn’t be washed out by the rain
by december i was too lost
and only recently, i had found out the cost
we learn, we love, we lose
but you weren’t mine to choose
11:12, [my teacher, my lover]
