Champ

Hot like the afternoons
 When you kiss her on the mouth.
 Locked on the common ground
 You won't say you love me now.
 Cooled by the waterside
 I'll just wait till you find out.
 Pressed up against my door
 You'll just say "he's different now."
 He dissolved like the blood
 That you had called for on my afternoons.
 You were right all that time
 To feel like nothing you said made a difference.
 Hot like the summer night
 When your brother went to state.
 Framed in the parking lot
 You left all the things you hate.
 Laid down across my lap
 You said "do I still calm you down?"
 Promised a later day
 That just spilled out of my mouth.
 & I lost my phone in that summer water
 The night your brother left town,
 & I could feel your hands move through that river
 Across my chest for the last time.
