Seventeen Ain't So Sweet

Devilish green eyes,
Wafting in the mist,
Hanging by my soul,
All I can't resist.

Lust mistook for love,
Harder when it ends,
Thinking you know nothing,
It will never mend.

Each day is the last,
Love will never be,
Wisdom in this lesson,
One can never see.

Self worth came with age,
Knowledge found in thought,
Selfish wants lay dormant,
When needs are being sought.

I wander back to youth,
But just to reminisce,
Seventeen ain't so sweet,
Freedoms what you miss.
