The last day of July hangs in the air like haze
It seems this day will never end
The worst month of my young life
Dying from a multitude of diseases
Addictions, insecurities and mistakes
Scars instead of memories to be hidden in the past
Where anything would be better than the reality
That is carved in stones that litter the shores
Where I have walked, barefoot and blistering
Listening through the sea shells for the voices of reason
In a season of changing leaves, the colors will kill me
I dream in nothingness, black and dull
Are my feelings towards the world
As we enter another month, another change
In the calendar of days that do not change anything
Except the closer I am to dying.

since it is already November, I have this feeling your spring rebirth is just around the corner, and your heart will not remain amongst the fallen leaves

So you won't ever forget me~
