Spring

Spring was my honey

For her I oozed

As she sat back and swallowed

Each spoonful of you

And for that summer

Started so slow

Crept in quietly

To burn a hole

Where passion spent

Left a heavy sweat

Between my blades

And I knew that we

Were as ever-changing as the constant sea

And you were just what I needed

For that dormant heart

For that tender loveless part

To open again

Autumn was my downfall

Return season of her

But she lit your cigarette all the same

For a fool never learns

Even when he’s been burned once before

Winter came this morning to take you away

The clouds in the distance

Banged dusty and grey

Spindly trees with no birds

A reminder of what we once were

And I knew that we

Were as ever-changing as the constant sea

And you were just what I needed

For that dormant heart

For that tender loveless part

To open again.
