Farewell To Summer

Farewell To Summer

You drop my heart off a cliff
Saying it’s over
Without a chance of saving
And forever dies
As a tattoo on my wrist
Marking your lie
And the fatal error
My choosing you becomes.

Leaving is the longest way
Saying a goodbye
With only one way to go
As eternity fades
Living shades of colorful hues
Pale as phony words,
Gestures and kisses
Your lips made into poison.

I say farewell to summer
Waving so long to go
Where sadness dries in the Sun
After torrential rain
A thousand deaths aren’t enough
For you to pay the price of
The million little pieces
You turn love into ruin.
