Favorite Quote:
"Louis, Prada, Gucci." -Tequila


I came up lost in loneliness in a small town
My only escape was often swimming in the clouds
You were a breath of fresh air I slowly took in
A diamond in the rough, a diamond lying in ruins

 

I recall our summers being tame, although our emotions ran wild
I would say to you, “Let yourself be taken by whatever you desire”
What in me brought out the best in you?
I compulsively lied; you knew the truth

 

Our old hideout was broken down but still sound
In it, we were up in smoke; to it, we were bound
Our treasured late nights under alluring skies;
Never-ending moments turn to memories divine

 

Since the end I have been upset to say the least
I have learned that to cry does not make you weak
Fragile; like our adolescent fears we came apart
Have you anything to say to my nostalgic heart?

 

Like the sun at day’s end you made my walls come down


The author's comments:

Originally inspired by Lorde's song "Buzzcut Season," off of her debut album Pure Heroine, this poem consists of reflections I hold of my best friend and I... She is the one and only person I have ever trusted enough to show the broad spectrum of my true colors to.
