Poetry

First Love

Do you still think of me

Twenty-some years later 

Am I alone in my thoughts

My memories of the good

And the bad

So many firsts

That new love brings

As we grow older 

The firsts are not the same

Innocence has been lost

Passion fades

Life has made us hard

Accepting new love

New lovers

New desires

No longer easy to come by

I long for the earlier days

When love was in abundance

I think of you

Do you think of me

Poetry

Do you really care 

Or are you feeling like

It compulsory 

It’s ok 

To not want

To be around me 

My sadness

My mess

I’m used to those

Who leave

I’m used to those 

Who can’t handle it

It’s scary 

And it’s sad

How do people 

Live like this

A mess surrounding them

What is this they/I

Am living in

How can they go on 

I’m telling you 

It’s not easy

But I manage

For now

How much 

Do I 

Want to say

Please help me

I’m drowning 

In this mess

I’ve made

But I’m ashamed

For you to see

What I have become

I’m so tired 

Of feeling this way 

Please help me 

Find a way

A way out of 

This mess

A way out of

Me

I want to be

Happy again 

I want to be free

I want to 

Live a life

A life 

Normally
