Summer is Gone


Summer is Gone
She's at the dance 
She looks at you then looks away
Then looks at you again
The straw from her drink
Moves vertically 
with no apparent rhythm 
She's all flowers and sunshine 
With the promise of a lifetime 
But as the days turn into weeks
She disappears 
Into vibrant colors of destruction 
All of a sudden she's gone 
Gone with the guy who stood by the exit wearing the shiny leather coat 
You know she'll be back 
But in a different form
And  its a long time to wait
So you go out
Lookin for a coat of your own
