COULDN’T LET GO
A Poem
Through my eyes she saw the desire,
The longing, the passion, the weakness.
She took my head and laid it on her lap,
And for a moment I was home.
She kissed the spot and on turned me,
In love I fell, smitten I got, for the first time.
My lips, my eyes, my ears yearned when away she was.
In me she’d lit a fire which no waters could put out.
A day came, her first love came,
Through my eyes she saw the pain.
Off they went and left my carcass burning.
She couldn’t let go, her first love.
I can’t let go, my first love.
This was my very first poem written sometime in 2014 while I was still in high school. I have tried to keep it as original as the day I wrote it.
