Daily walk

Tall trees sway in the wind
Sunlight dapples through leaves
Onto the dusty trail that stretches ahead
No thoughts on my mind
Unless you count those
That swirl and linger
Like lazy dragonflies and earnest bees
There is a melody
That rides the breeze
While the milkweed fairies
Dance before me in unison

Something about you

Something about you
makes me wonder
Why skies grow dark
at the end of a beautiful day

Something about you
makes me angry
That I can almost forgive
but can never forget

Something about you
makes me think
That I should have known better
when we locked eyes at the start

Something about you
makes me wish
That we were both better people
with less corroded hearts

Something about you
makes me feel better
That you are the reason
I know myself so much more

Something about you
makes me feel worse
That it finally happened
after we said our goodbyes
