~~~~~~~~~~
I was learning to be stronger,
For you~
But it obviously wasn't good enough...
Or I'm not good enough?
If only I had one more chance,
For you~
To take me back to the first day I met you,
To bring back that feeling of love,
Even though you still mistook my kindness for weakness,
And now you've left,
None of it matters,
You teased me into thinking I could change myself,
For you~
Even though you never quite loved me.

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.

Outstanding heartbreak poem!
So clever, but incredibly sad. Great writing.
Felt this, Kodah! Stunning writing, if very sad. Though, lots of the best art comes from heartbreak.
