Sorry it's been so long! Here's something to entertain your eyes :P
I plan on reading it for a poetry slam next Friday *cough* which is also my birthday *cough*
Let me know what thou thinkest!
August Adrenaline
Do you remember that warm August night?
The look in your eyes,
How our laughter reached the skies?
I was yours, and you were mine,
Everything about you was divine.
What started with awkward hellos,
Turned into picnics in grassy meadows,
In the burning summer heat,
As our feet tapped to the beat,
Of Black Sabbath, Green Day,
Katy Perry's "The One that Got Away".
But the summer started to end,
I prayed I wouldn't lose my best friend.
You told me that wouldn't happen,
Not to us,
But that was a lie,
And it hit me like a speeding bus.
On that last day in August,
We acted like we were fine,
I was still yours, you were still mine.
We held on, even as August had gone.
September loomed, my eyes filled with gloom,
Or maybe just tears,
At the thought of you no longer being here.
Since then, it's been
Put-downs, "What if?"'s,
Endless guitar riffs,
In heartbreaking country songs,
As I sing along,
Trying hard not to cry,
As I remember that August night.
The fact that you weren't coming back slowly became true,
And then it was clear to me,
What I needed to do.
I need to break through,
Find truth,
Do anything to remind you,
Of that warm August night,
The look in your eyes,
How our laughter reached the skies,
Back when you were still mine.
