August is the best month of the year <br />we reflect on what's happened since we last stood here <br />salt in our hair and our feet in the sand <br />I wouldn't expect anyone else to understand <br /> <br />August is the worst month of the year <br />with autumn ahead, I feel so much fear <br />nothing that summertime offers can last <br />when September arrives, you'll be a piece of my past <br /> <br />moving on <br />I can't read your reaction <br />when I set aside the initial attraction <br />we have nothing, nothing, <br />keeping us together <br />so much for forever... <br />August <br /> <br />August is the best month of the year <br />watching the sunset, watching lovers appear <br />at dusk they hold hands and stare at the sun <br />whispering, 'You're the one.' <br />August is the worst month of the year <br />nothing is simple and nothing is clear <br />it's never easy to push fate away <br />but a year's worth of love songs can be gone in a day <br /> <br />moving on <br />why was I the one to break? <br />it's no one's fault, it's no one's mistake <br />and I'm sorry, I'm sorry, <br />that I'm so filled with doubt <br />what's this about...? <br />August <br /> <br />every year I tell myself <br />that I won't let somebody else <br />become a part of me <br />but I guess it's too late now <br />I have to let you off somehow <br />it's not going to be easy <br /> <br />moving on <br />I can't read your reaction <br />when I set aside the initial attraction <br />we have nothing, nothing, <br />keeping us together <br />so much for forever... <br />August <br /> <br />moving on <br />why was I the one to break? <br />it's no one's fault, it's no one's mistake <br />and I'm sorry, I'm sorry, <br />that I'm so filled with doubt <br />what's this about...? <br />August <br /> <br />here I am again <br />this has to end... <br /> <br />August.<br /><br />Jade Leven<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/august-5/
