gone – Page 3 – Leonas Lines

A butterfly is free
It flits and flies all around
The cocoon is gone
Nothing holds it back from flight
I want to be free like that

Come and Gone

Posted on June 18, 2013June 18, 2013 by Leonas Lines

June, it seems you just arrived,
Yet your 18 days are nearly gone,
only 12 more remain to be seen,
and then never more shall you dawn.

You’ve given me memories to cherish,
Adventures and surprises galore,
June, I will enjoy your daily presence,
Until you, or I, are no more.

I loved you once,
But no more.
My love for you is gone,
Like the setting of the sun,
And yesterday’s dawn,
It is gone.
Washed away by sorrow,
And empty promises of tomorrow,
It did descend,
Ne’er to come again.
