Pitiful Figures

two wonderful summers

I keep dreaming about you

and I wake up hot with shame

I hope someday I'll have a breakthrough

A day I won't mourn the summer of honeydew

and remember the war game

I keep dreaming of you

I try to remember the struggle to hold you

but all I remember is how I set aflame

I hope someday I'll have a breakthrough

And I try to make do

but it's terribly hard to reclaim

I keep dreaming of you

Until I am brought to

and forced to become tame

I hope someday I'll have a breakthrough

Until I get through

until I exclaim,

"I keep dreaming of you!"

I hope someday I have a breakthrough
