I loved him till i was 19
A fine man
A dine man
A family man
I loved him till I was 19
Without a thought
A pause…
All I knew was
Songs
Backstreet boys
Metallica…
Kenny G
In the Suzuki
I loved him till I was 19
Not a threat
Just inexpensive bread
But expensive debts
20, and feminism
20, and mental health disorders
20, and abuse
20, and terrible news
21, and tears
21, and fears
21, a nuisance
21, a guilt conscience
22, and quarantine
22, and daily fights
22, and gaslit
22, and clenched fists
Reaching 23
And sore ties
Where I knew
Roses… poems
Where I knew
Music… threats
Where I knew
Love… doubt.
And love is anything but
Second guesses
Love is anything but
Taught lessons
Love, is…
And that, is it.
