Summer

The summer created a chance to stop pretending.
The summer created a true and perfect ending.
I wanted to find the reasons why,
  but all my will has dried up and died,
  left only to self mutilate and cry.
As the flowers wither away,
  I turn to grey.
I lose all hope of anyone finding me.
I cannot stop the decay eating away at me.
Dig the needle into the skin.
The strings hold together,
  what would fall out,
    in.
