We Never Saw the Summer

Actually a song that I wrote, but also kind of a poem

Do you miss me?

Because I miss you so much

So much I thought it would kill me

Sadly I'm still alive

I get to watch you move on and thrive

Is she good to you?

because I thought I was

I thought I was good enough for you

I think too much

Mostly about how I miss your touch

You never gave me a reason

Your mother said wait for every season

We never saw the summer 

What a bummer

We never saw the summer

Just so you know I miss you less each day

Still I miss you more than I would admit to say

I wish we stayed together to see the summer

We never saw the summer

I wish we saw the summer

Author's Note

I know its kind of sloppy but its more of a song than a poem. Still I hope you enjoy. Any feedback is appreciated!

A poem of not only regret and sadness but some contempt (Is she good to you...?). The summer references work well in this poem. We generally identify with summer as a good season, full of warmth, sun, and good times. And, that's how relationships often cycle, too. Cold, rough "weather" followed by warmer times, more light, etc. The mood and emotions rush from your poems. It's a solid work.

Not bad at all for lyrics. I can certainly feel the emotion coming through. Keep writing. All good wishes

I think it is pretty good, it's honest and touching. I love the final two stanzas they are so full of pain and regret. Hold those emotions long enough for a good write and then let them go and live. Well done.

I also like how you turned your pain in such beautiful words.
I like that I can feel your emotions through your poem.
Keep on writing
