Best Losssummer Poems


Summer Oh Summer

Summer oh summer where have you gone,
You brought me joy but now I have none,
School has once again started,
And my freedom has once again departed,

Summer oh summer why did you leave,
That you'll come again is so hard to believe,
Everyday seems ever so long,
And everything I feel seems so very wrong,

For sumer oh summer you come every year,
And when you do I pack my bags and get out of here,
You open my cage and let me go free,
Out into the air where myself I can finally be

No One To Pitch the Ball

No one to pitch the ball
on a dusky summer night.
No one to fire up the grill
on a sunny summer day.
Spiraling down into poverty,
mama can't get a job.
Mama teaches me how to tie a tie.
I know nothing about a car engine.
Somewhere out there he's drinking and drugging,
and not loving me.
The only thing he gave me 
was an addictive personality,
and that didn't turn out so well.
So as I sit here on the porch,
on a dusky summer night,
I remember clearly,standing alone,
in the grassy, overgrown yard,
with no one to pitch the ball.

Missing You

You left in the warm golden afternoon
While the sun was still shining
But the fiery sun has set by now,
and cold and bitter rain is pouring.

A tear slips down my lonely cheek,
I remember why I’m crying,
When I go down into the kitchen,
I will not find your welcome there.

The sweet note that you left for me
is hidden beneath my pillow,
Now the love that others seek to give
all seems so cool and shallow.

I miss our talks till three a.m.
I miss your laugh, and your embrace
I miss running together in summer sun
I even miss you winning the race.

I miss your patient explanations 
of why the summer sky is blue
Your kind and gentle reassurances-
Mostly, I guess, I miss you.

So now my heart starts to wonder,
what’s the point of continuing on?
Is there any purpose to life,
Now that you’re gone?

Then I see our photo on my night stand,
flip through the scrapbook we made together
Everything we said and did-
the memories we’ll have forever.

If you were here, you would remind me,
There’s no need to have these fears,
Someday we will be together-
Heaven will wipe away our tears.
