Fiona Summers Poem
If I had a dime
I'd pay for the time that I had lost long ago
but I only have a penny and a head
filled with many memories of summer spent with you
Now it's winter, and I still think
of the summer nights
although we had our fair share of fights
nothing compares to those 90 days
of having you by my side
Understand me when I say
of course, I miss your presence or the way you laugh
But if I had a dime
I wouldn't ask you to be mine this valentine
Hearing your name, I can't help but smile
mainly at the remembrance of those childish days
but not as the person you are now
though you have fooled me once
I shouldn't let you fool me twice
So, if I had a dime I wouldn't let you waste my time, but i'd keep
the summer nights when you were sincere
and I was merely naive
for following my dreams.

Fiona Summers Poem
No matter what I do
I am the same
I am the same little girl
all those years ago
No matter what I do
the world is still as grey
as all those years ago
New year, new me
the same insecure teenager
crying over her stale hair
Resolutions becoming unkept promises
school feeling like a second home
gone before dawn back after dusk
And tears that shed on my childhood bed
felt like it was nearly the end.
