Seasons Are Like Chapters

He is violet

Like the night sky

Just before the day light

A Love so deep it takes up a whole colour

With the sunrise comes summer

We were drunk on each other

As the new year past

We sat under exploding stars

Ziggy Alberts on his guitar

Playing from your pocket

You held out your hand and said

Every pretty girl deserves to go to a ball

You pulled me close and we danced

It was a drug fuelled romance

With the sun came spring

We bloomed with the flowers

From a seed planted long ago

we picked their pedals

and asked

does he love me?

Does he love me not?

We built a home

more of a construction site

For what could have been

Winter was cold without you

I wrapped myself up in your jumper

Tangled in the thought of you

God I miss summer

I feel my bones crack in autumn

Like I’ve fallen asleep

Becoming one with the leather couch

I need to stretch and release you

I don’t need your help

I don’t need your time

I don’t need your friends

I need more wine

Face masks and bubble baths

in the name of self care

dye my hair

shed my skin

wash my eyes

till their clean

till they are mine

and not the eyes

that held your violet light

By next summer I’ll be fine without you

Much to do at twenty two

“Hi, how are you? X”

A hello

But it wasn’t you

And as the new sun peaks over the horizon

The day is bright once again

But I’ll still wake up before it rises

Too watch that violet sky fade again

I’ll Say goodbye, to my violet sky

when today becomes tomorrow

P.s.

Tomorrow never comes
