First Love (a poem)

I’m still in love with
My first love
Oh, I was but
A child of sixteen
But I knew
Yes, I knew I loved him
The very moment I saw him
The very moment I heard him
He did nithing but
Be the man God made him to be
And I fell so fast
I didn’t feel it happening
I fell so hard
I never realized how much it hurt
When I hit the ground
So violently
The pain was unbearable
I feel it now
Listening to words that were
(Once)
Just for my ears
He holds a piece of me
He took it when he left
He is the only person who can
Give it back
But he’s holding it captive
And the worst part is
I don’t even think
He knows it
It’s been years
I’ve grown up
But still I hold fast to
My feelings for him
Because I believe that
As long as he and I both still
Breathe
There is a chance that he and I could still be
Together
Happily ever after
Because he is
My love
My heart
My angel

Stolen Hearts (a poem)

I penned this the other day, with a lyrical component in mind, but as I cannot sing, I’ll just post it here for your reading pleasure. 🙂

I remember when life was easy
My heart didn’t do a thing
But keep me alive
The way God intended it to be
But then here you came
To take everything from me

What have you done to me?
You’ve taken this part of me
That I can’t ever get back
You didn’t swindle my money
No, you didn’t want that
You took my heart instead
And you can keep that
‘Cuz I don’t want it back

Burning inside of me now
What did you do to me?
With a flash of your smile
The sound of your voice
You drowned me in your eyes
No lifeboat in sight

What have you done to me?
You’ve taken this part of me
That I can’t ever get back
You didn’t swindle my money
No, you didn’t want that
You took my heart instead
And you can keep that
‘Cuz I don’t want it back

You took a vital part of me
Turned me into mush
Now you’re gone
What am I to do?
No one ever told me it would be like this
I don’t know how to fix this
I think I kinda like it this way
Just come on
Make this picture in my head complete
And return my heart to me

What have you done to me?
You’ve taken this part of me
That I can’t ever get back
You didn’t swindle my money
No, you didn’t want that
You took my heart instead
And you can keep that
‘Cuz I don’t want it back
