Analysis of Breakups
'Twas the end of the day,
the beginning of summer
the in between of things
lost forever
Hope fell quietly
Surrendering to his will
Closing her eyes
diving into abyss
mountains rose high
separating the two
one walked away
Into the doom
Rivers down the way
Collected the other
she drifted dead
till the end of summer
