Sins of Summer

Midnight moments in my head.

The sins of summer in my bed.

Consumed by the smell of what will fade,

As I gaze to where they laid.

Starting to forget their names:

Caught up in these heartbreak games.

So it comes as no surprise,

That sunset promises turned to lies.

An orange haze casts silhouettes;

Disappearing the darker it gets.

Soon their faces will be gone,

To the night they belong.

Lost in a blanket of midnight sky.

Wandering in darkness asking why.

Until the moon calls for the stars,

To make a constellation out of scars.

I hear her voice call for me.

For her face I search desperately.

Until I realize what she said,

Lives only inside my head.

I left her side months ago.

Still my heart can't let go.

Tried finding love in another's lips,

But all I can think of is your fingertips.

My body aches to be by her side.

I said she wasn't the one but I lied.

Without a word she stole my heart.

I stare aimlessly hoping tears won't start.

Your touch still lingers on my hand.

Just like the thoughts of what we planned.

Except now all I can do is wonder…

Staring at the silhouettes in the thunder.

All of their voices echo in my room,

As my remorse begins to bloom.

Not for the hearts broken,

But for the words unspoken.

Haunted by the feelings I never expressed.

Lay with me like these words on my chest.

Because feelings start to form,

When you're in the eye of the storm.
