A Summer Later
All this time
I still feel weak
at the sight of her face
It all went wrong
The line fades to dots
and our hearts replaced
after a season of sharp tongues
former lovers turned opponents
morning routines interrupted
with daydreams of precious moments
Masking these emotions
behind painkillers
and silly Facebook statuses
dodging the memories
with F bombs
and psychological practices
a whole summer
drowned in alcoholic beverages
to drown out the sweet words
uttered from your lips
Yet I still hum
I still hum those tunes
played by the beat of my heart
and the swing of your hip
Dancing in your basement
snuggling under blankets
the cold atmosphere
defrosted by love
and now
alone
bitter
broken
confused
yet I still long for you
