Try and Find Me

Cool and damp to the touch
Emerald guards caressed my feet
The soft whisper of youth against my face
Summer lasted forever that year
Warm and welcoming
It beckoned us to savor it
To drink every last drop of it in
___________________________________
That summer is dead
Left a hole inside me
Decaying leaves fill the space
Piling one atop the other
Crushing me with their weight
Scoffing at the depth of that summer
