Summertime Sadness

An ode to summer love

Summertime Sadness

You told me you’d be my one and only

For days to come and years to follow.

You told me there was a world you can show me

So I packed my life to find you gone by the morrow.

I was left to my own defenses

Cringing and crying traitorous tears.

These were the consequences

Of someone who’d shattered too many mirrors.

Seven years bad luck, says superstition

But who’s counting the time?

Now you’ve put me in a position

To give up on you and stop my rhymes.

Perhaps one day, I’ll forgive your retreat.

Perhaps one day, I’ll conquer this defeat.
