Slowly Summer Sighed

The pavement saw it coming
The window was ajar
No matter where you're longing
There's a limit to how far you're able to bend
Without the option of an end

Slowly summer sighed
And a passer-by
Caught a dark stain on her shoe

Not a single cry
Rose to the summer sky
It was still a perfect blue
While summer sighed for you

The ambulance is silent
It was just another call
On the city scale of violence
It won't register it all, and inside your door
Dust falls softly to the floor

Slowly summer sighed
As they closed your eyes
And the sunshine filled your room

Not a single cry
Rose to the summer sky
It was still a perfect blue
While summer sighed for you
