August
By violetfyre
And in a breath, August is gone.She vanished when the days grew too cold,And with her went the sun and all the long humid nightsAnd freedom.Did we do the right thing?Was I wrong for leaving you?Were you wrong in letting me go?August's gone, and confusion follows.It was all so clear in a dank and dirty basement,Drinking Yuengling and shots of rum,Inhaling second-hand smoke from between your lips--This was how we belonged.It was all so clear in a dorm room three hours away,Drinking Southern Comfort and ginger ale,Inhaling life through a straw before passing out--This is where I belong and you're not here.August came and I never saw it coming.She ran me down like a summer freight train.You picked me up and brushed me off.But August is gone and so are you,And I never saw it coming.How you could grow so attached,Become so crazy about me,In one short month,Is beyond me.August is over and so are we.** Written October 3rd, 2001 © on Oct 03 2001 09:25 AM PST 18 • 0 • 10
