Summer Is Only A Daydream

Sarah Brower 1995 (New Jersey)



Unlocked your precious diary
leaking ink from flames we created
the pages I clawed out
solely mine
mine to cement
into the beats you defibrillated
for if resuscitated; I will know once again
You were never mine

My lids swell denying every moment
the kiss that never meant to be ours
yet the taste of deceit
is branded on the buds melting bitter water
sin is your luxury; betrayal your mistress
melancholy echos yelp
you were never mine
