Hail

I could charm any heart
Until one day, my tongue ran away
With your sneaking around all that I held dear
You came a little too near
I saw a thief take my poetry
Took the book that my dad used to read
I looked out the window to try to see you
But all there was, was hail in June
Tracing every letter I can recall
Before the words are gone from my mind
I knew every phrase but now they hide
No, I don’t wanna lose those precious lines
Whre else did you li
Now I’m searching every bookshelf there is
To find where my childhood died
Dreaming with Dawn’s left hand in the sky
In the bar, another voice cried
I saw a thief take my poetry
Took the book that my dad used to read
I looked out the window to try to see you
But all there was, was hail in June
