Song of Youth
The sidewalk burned with oranges and yellows
I could not resist
Your face the essence of a morning heaven
Luring me in with it’s presence
The songs of our youth
Hummed from your guitar
So I lied myself down
Shutting my eyes to rest
As your voice sang softly
Light glinted from angels wings
I gave you all my trust
To our surreal dream
Night fell over your soul
Time crept behind your back
Before my arms circled your stomach
Your skinny body left
The songs of our youth
Hummed from your guitar
So I lied myself down
Shutting my eyes to rest
The last glowing stars
Fell upon my little shoulders
The last spark of a childish love
I shall always cherish
