Alright. Alright. Here we go.
This is a tale, of how she killed summer; and how he let her.
*Killing Summer
Beg for me through salt water
I see them in your eyes
The taste, the anger, the harsh wind of all
The sugar rubbed off, to lend spring fall
Autumn cotton trees, sweet shrivel and shake
Is how ignorantly begot, the frozen lake
Streams and blood vessels
the lifting of relief
On pink leafs they preach
The science of grief
Painting the ground and sky
The brush soon sinks, piercing undeniably
To pure beaut-ti
With a color I’ve seen,
The soil changed.
And dyed itself again, to its silhouette
With balance, and beautiful-touchy elegance
Not knowing, she bowed to a cold scene
And left it to chill
Where the rain’s bow sings,
But losing the warmth, he drew the curtain
Over west, east, in all directions
The fog lost its touch
Lingering past the deceased
Over land supposedly unscathed
The mist had slaughtered peace
And found out they had lost
Tears un-present, and eyes dry
‘Cause summer’d taken them in
When it mournfully sighed
Holding the wind back in its spit sea
She ended it
While he stood by
“There was no controlling it”
Is what he decried
So coldly pretentious,
Teach him why,
And how they killed summer.
Remind the solid land
That its sky was blue ,
And the grass green, and life
A color I have never seen
