Silently

Silently

The days go by 

And Summer slowly

Slips away..

She has given 

too  much

That  one final touch

So tired

She can't stay.

For she has 

heard rumblings

That all is not well

That darkness

has fallen

But no one

Will tell

The pretense

pervades

Fall playing

charades.

It's like  being

in hell.
