A poet once said,

"Nothing gold can stay."

We both knew that.

You left me there.


I was still holding onto silver.

A faded summer's dream.

Too good to be true,

those late nights in June.


We were outside in my front yard.

I was lost in who you are.

Having given everything,

I could've died with a smile.


I let you in to watch you leave.

Robert Frost was right,

You, my gold, you weren't meant for me.

I had to settle for silver, what you left behind. 


You were a faded summer's dream.

I was a damaged, teenage heart.

I guess we all have to wake up sometime.

You couldn't watch me fall apart.


I know now that you'll never stay.

We had an early ending.

There was no turning of a page,

A story of gold, could it ever stay?

Okay, this is probably my favorite, even if it's not great. I wrote this last night when talking to Brandon about everything that went down between us. I don't know, it's my favorite. What do you think?
