LYRICS:
as if i could run the pain along an empty page
everything i gave has come to be reclaimed
something inside you sought the parting from our youth
nothing i was could be your answer or your truth
and in summer streams i feed the memory
of days i revered for closeness to you
the corners you wilt upon my awning boyish wraith;
a ghost you had thought to be so haunting yet afraid
while climbing the walls to capture one more word from me
you scurry away before i say all i can say
but as summer leaves i loathe the reverie
of days i adhered a constancy for you
depriving a prosing tongue as time we left unspent
to change of a season flowering my thoughts unkempt
i hoped that these words could balance on your line-by-line
but all that i wrote approximated the rhyme
