I didn't realize the first time
Only happens once
After that everything is an echo
Hollow and incomplete
The touch of a first love
Brailles a story on the heart
Revealing unique, cryptic messages
Making sequels feeble
A heartbreak shakes
Like a 7.0 earthquake
Breaking the soul in two
Creating a chasm of desire
When love ends
The umbilical cord wraps
The neck restricting air,
Suffocating passion
When the cord is cut
All sustenance is removed
Leaving loneliness
Never returning to that womb
I didn't realize the first time
Only happens once
But hope the second time
Paints a picture of hope
