In the dying days of Summer, we became
friends. Over a "notebook of death", no less.
Your ivory smile, night-colored hair, and dark
brown eyes are forever burned into my mind.
You broke up with him over the next, and
my heart heard the siren song of yours.
Before the leaves had fallen, however, he
had claimed it. That was my coldest Winter.
Your relationship with him ended by the birth
of Spring. Through pandas, I asked you to Prom.
Within seven days, he was back. You cast me
aside; you left me to wallow in my own despair.
Two years have passed since this all began. Still
"with" him, my brother and you chase one another.
I've always called you "My Michelley"; you've
always me "my Jacobo". But, you've never been mine.
