goodbye

summer built us a house made of  silver string

 oh, i cried as i stepped inside. 

how did you get here?

but you just smiled at me.

as we whispered stories by the glow of your heart

and washed our hands in the river coming from my spirit

i learned to love you.

oh, i cried as the sun set.

how was i so afraid of you before?

but you just smiled at me.

and yet, as the days passed, i could not look past 

that mask you wore

to hide your face from me.

summer built us a house made of silver string.

oh, i cried as we peeked outside.

please don't lie to me anymore.

but you just smiled at me

like it hurt.

summer cannot last forever.

our string house fell apart,

for we had come to the end of our changing.

 i looked into your eyes and pleaded for you to stay

but you just smiled at me.

we both knew.

we both knew you couldn't.

on the day you left

i went looking for a trace of you.

now i sit with that old mask in my hands

weeping.

♥

goodbye summer.
