K...this is kind of shit....but I havn't written in forever and it just kinda flowed the other night. Tell me what you think, honestly. Tell me how I can make it better.
Oh and I didn't spell/grammer check it..so some stuff might not be right

We Can't Chase The Sun Forever

Rosy cheeks and scraped kneecaps;
the epitomy of life we held dear in our pockets,
untill fairytales vanished in the blistering heat
and the innocence we had perfected
was replaced by disease

With the sunburnt blacktop burning hot on our feet,
we would walk untill oblivion.
Chasing the summer sun
and skipping stones across the ashes
of the city it had burnt down long ago

Each misplaced step brought along a new adventure.
Where danger lurked in every unknown corner,
and we. ignorant to this, kept stepping.
Along the thin tight-rope as it swung to and fro
with the vivid winds of our imaginations

Then suddenly the summer sun sunk into the depths of Earth
and we found ourselves on this deserted street,
dimly lit by a shady streetlight
and haunted by the sillohuets of youth

The streets and blacktops we once roamed became cold,
playing bitter harmonies upon our hearts
and as all the colors we once seeked
recoiled into shades of gray,
we found ourselves with nothing left to chase.

This was actually a really good poem. I thought it flowed really well. You got some great ideas in there.

With the sunburnt blacktop burning hot on our feet,
we would walk untill oblivion.
Chasing the summer sun
and skipping stones across the ashes
of the city it had burnt down long ago


I love that verse.
