Story of being human and alone in the 60's

I miss the summer heat, and the love I once recieved,
before I turned 
seventeen.
Respect is hard to come by,
now sitting, watching her sing lullabies to her newborn baby,
I can't relate.
She looks out the open window, glaring like she's just another neighbor down the street,
In which I do not live. 
I'm waiting for love,
which dares not to come.
Knowing it would be found, found out.
The loose woven threads of my jacket tangle together as I crunch the fabric into the fist I'm making.
There's no point,
belive me, if anyone should know,
It's me.

    what do you do when you cross the sea without me? 

    on this warm night, I stand outside in the blue dark. 

    I wear a bathrobe over my pajamas 

    and old crocs that are faded purple 

  • pearls

    it's almost night on the Tyrrhenian Sea 

    homes glow like stars on the cliffside 

    and waves of green lap against the side of the boat 

     

    there is a storm approaching, 

  • eyes of a stranger

    there is something about those eyes that kept me chained to this love

    for they seemed to be the first that I couldn't see right through

    as if rather than a window to your soul

    they were a wall.
