Summer Child

Your violet hair and summer eyes

they drew me in on the first night

the same night that you told me

of moonlight dreams and sunrise mornings

you called us drifters

said you wanted to see every rainbow that touches the earth

and kiss the clouds on which your dreams float

you had scarlet lips

and my lips were burnt from the kisses of the sun

when your lips touched mine

I saw a million tiny stars

calling my name and drawing me closer into your heart

that heart that was a blanket to my broken soul

a kiss never tasted so bittersweet

as I knew that you wanted to leave

you could never stay in a glass house for long

you wanted to see green pastures and daisy ocean waves

your smile told me that I’d always be stuck in your daydreams

that you’d always go back to that place of moonbeams and autumn sunsets

that spring roses and winter daisies will never die out

your heart was never mine, not completely

but my heart was stolen from me when you made a promise

a promise to lead me into the enteral summer nights
