The August Moon Betrayed



If this is love,
please take
it from me.
My innocence
surrendered
to only
hear your
goodbye song.

I was a child
yesterday
looking
for my prince,
today I feel
ancient.

Why did
The August
moon betray me?
Under its spell
I believed your
words of love.

Leave me
as you say you must.
Take summer
with you.
My heart
no longer warm
now feels
the frost of winter.

Goodbyes are very painful, they leave a chill on a summer evening...
