summers end

you said

that i was beautiful

that sometimes things are

beautiful for no reason

not everyone needs to pretend

to love a girl like me

just because there is something in her

they must dominate

or because they’re afraid of a

change in the season…

anyway

i don’t have a pretty couplet

to give resolution

nothing eloquent to say

except that i was very brave

and it would have been easier

to stay
