Alexa’s dreaming now
drifting off my couch
we walked down streets she’s walked
a thousand times
at 3am that night
under palm tree lights
for the first time
i came alive
when summer died
i didn’t want it to close its eyes on me
i shook off every warning
sometimes you gotta know
when to say goodbye
it didn’t hurt at first
singing every word
but when i finally
cut through blurry lines
i was horrified
raining in my room
been that way since June
by the time it dried
i came alive
and summer died
Alexa’s waking up
water in her cup
simpler times
i never cried when summer died
