falling

Bite my teeth

Hold my breath

And hope this isn’t real

Summer love, it’s all coming to an end.

Sun sets at 6, an uneven glow

Cast by my grey

I burn no more, with all these tears running down

Been biting my lips trying to hold it all in

Tried to drown out all this pain by trying not to find the words that would make it all okay

Find the words that made everything true.

You can be my endless love, hun... and I know it’d be all a lie, but didn’t you like to feel our skin to skin, sweat on sheets

And I can fake it if you can too.

Summer love, it’s over.

I bury my love in the falling leaves

Hope it counts as a wish like we used to do, blowing on the dandelions.
