Ephemeral Summertime

Sand beneath our feet
Hair blowing in the breeze
Dumb, reckless, stupid teens
Basking in the southern-heat

Lips touch shotgunning weed
Raise a middle finger to authority
Running away from all responsibility
For the first time in our lives we're feeling free

Thought we were in love
Fooled by the heat waves
Running away from our problems
Thinking we were brave

Speeding across the East Coast
Hands, lips, tongues, teeth
Speeding across my skin
Finally feeling free

The heat is gone
It's slipped away
Winter colds
Cloudy greys

Tongue tied down
Heart in cage
Brain breaking down
Full of rage
Drooping eyes
And wrists in chains

Thought we were in love
Fooled by the heat waves
Running away from our problems
Thinking we were brave

A/N: this is rushed and short but oh well too bad
