Poetry

As Much as I loved You

It’s been over 30 years 

And you still have a place in my heart 

I’ve tried to bury you

Beneath so many others

Others who made me feel less than 

Something you never did

Yes, we were young

Yes,  we didn’t truly know 

Anything about life

And what it would throw at us 

But what we felt was true

As true as young love could be

Now I’m afraid

Afraid I have been ruined

By a deep love

That will never again be

And though I am sad

And wish I had been what you needed

I know that you are loved

That you have loved

After me

After us

Poetry

First Love 

I recall the time

I was wearing the shirt

The one you always remembered

The one with purple flowers

We listened to a band play

A “show” we called it

Back in the day

You put your cap on me

Your blonde hair to your chin

You were beautiful to me

I knew the minute I saw you

I knew you were mine

And I was yours

So young we were 

Full of love

Full of hope

Little did we know 

Youth ends 

First loves end

But you are always on my mind

I always wonder 

If I could have been better

As time has gone on

So many things 

Came to light

I wish I could tell you 

Why I couldn’t 

Give you what you needed

Oh I wish I could have 

I couldn’t tell you

How I was hurt

In my past 

How I was ruined for you 

Oh what I wouldn’t give 

To relive those days 

To do it all over 

Knowing what I know now

You were my first love

You will always have

My heart 

Poetry

My Best

I gave you my best

Whatever that means 

I don’t have anything left to give 

I gave you my best

The love 

I knew how to give 

What happens

Now that 

You’re gone 

I have nothing

Left to give

I’m empty

I gave you my best

What is left of me

Nothing

If anyone comes

Around me now 

There is nothing left

I gave you my best

I gave you all I had

I gave you my best
