The Sky Reflected Summer (unfinished)
1
If I had the strength to prove my love is true
To protect you from the one who shares his greedy value
The one who said “Baby, my love is you.”
He will go and come back like echoes across the valley
never staying,
to put out his hand,
to reach for the stars in heaven above him
(Like a lost man who writes his thoughts on a porch)
The one who ran away and loved you more.
Can you tell me who loved you more?

I know betrayal.
It comes like a steady stream from my hands
My fingers are rivers of hatred pouring over your back
Caressing your laugh with a smile, my own awkward denial.
Am I the foolish step on a wise man’s ladder
Braced against the wall of your fortress?
Stepping on me now but your name is invisible
Without this pressure
I wouldn’t know you’re here at all
