I was drowning
The water filled my mouth
Leaving a taste
So bitter and sharp
It stayed forever
My eyes were dull
And I felt a pain in my throat
I wanted to give up
For the waters to take me
To another place
Another time
What did you see in me
In that moment
When I needed someone
What did you see
In my eyes
What I see in yours
The same in mine
As deep inside
We're still the same
And your eyes
Still match
The color of your
Soul
the room smelled sweet
sweetness a mix between
the sterile and calm
a sweet temptation just out of my reach
yesterday
to you i was nine years old
with a black hurley hat
that never left my head
the hat that you would take
and try to hold it far above
my reach knowing i could never get it
Summer nights
Taste of sweet smoke
Laughter and kindness
The generosity of strangers
The hopes of tomorrow
And the struggles of a past day
Fall days
Feel the heat on your back
