First love...a.k.a. `For a minute there I lost myself`

by craig   Feb 22, 2004


Walking and talking under a moonless sky,
I gently rubbed my thumb up your spine, you sighed.
I wondered if life will always be as good as this,
or was I just a dreamer, caught in a fragile bliss.
I grabbed you from behind, pulled you close in tight,
the smell of your neck, I couldn't resist a bite!
You giggled and trembled, whispered I love you,
on that night of discovery, true happiness I knew.
I slowly turned you around, stroked your blushing cheek,
shadowed in your beauty I lost the will to speak.
Wide eyed in admiration, caught in your spell,
my heart then lost its struggle, my resistance fell.

But then a season past and things were not the same,
whenever I went to hold your hand you pulled it away.
You always seemed too busy, never had the time,
everytime I tried to ring you, some1 else was on the line.
Then I saw you with him,that life defining moment,
and felt the ice of rejection, solitary abandonment.
I convinced myself it was me,that I was to blame,
if only I had done things different,I cried in abject shame
It was a painful lesson,I still wear the faded scars,
but I like2see them often,they protect&shield my heart
There is an old saying,`everybody is someone`s fool`
well I found that some1 early,&mistook her for a jewel

If you end up reading my poems, I'm just letting you know...DO NOT read my love poems, they're just not good, Sad Depressing stuff is what I write, and that's what I'm good at, They all have high ratings, and They're stuff that i thought you would like to read...I was just lettin ya know, cuz the stuff I have been writing lately is Love poems, and they're all in the beginning, so I figured if you read the ones in the beginning, you'd lose interest sayhin i'm not good, but please belive, all my good opems are in the middle on like the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 page! Bye, haha I wrotr about ME on YOUR comment, I'm sorry! It won't happen again
