Poem-First Love

To my first love,

Let's take a stroll,
Through Memory Lane.
Backtrack our steps,
To when I was still sane.

Twas the month of December,
And the elves were at work.
Late nights and dull eyes,
I was a store clerk.

"You look really tired.",
That's what you first said.
I shunned you completely,
And scanned the bread.

You begged and insisted,
For a date with me.
"I'm working right now,
can you not see?"

As eleven-thirty struck,
I left for home.
I tripped over the curb,
I was accident prone.

In a hospital bed,
2 days I would lay.
A cast on my arm,
1 month it would stay.

I continued to work,
I needed the money.
You continued to shop,
And started calling me honey.

An unwanted distraction,
That's what you were.
You'd blab about hot girls,
Often Miranda Kerr.

After a while of insisting,
I had to give in.
Not because I liked you,
But because you threatened to sing.

Only one date,
That's what it was to be.
But you being you,
You saw more with me.

I'd never admit it,
But I sort of had fun.
It was as if the both of us,
Had drank a bottle of rum.

We talked and laughed,
Throughout the whole date.
You asked for a second one,
But I had work the next day.

You shopped at the store,
More than considered normal.
But my boss didn't care,
To her we were just hormonal.

(A/N I'm dying at that rhyme! I didn't know what else to write! 😂)

A few more dates,
Were to follow.
You filled me with warmth.
Inside I was no longer hollow.

New Years was approaching,
And I still had my cast.
But that couldn't stop me,
From making us last.

Laughter and joy,
Clouded the air.
With you my first kiss,
I was to share.

As time went on,
My life was perfect.
I still worked at the shop,
Where you once thought I was worth it.

We were the perfect pair,
Adored by all.
As we quickly blossomed,
In love I would fall.

You would show me off,
And make your friends jealous.
Whereas I told all mine,
That you looked like a piece of lettuce.

3 simple words,
Boring when alone.
1 heart stopping sentence,
And I lit up like a phone.

As I quit my job,
I moved far away.
You begged and insisted,
That I should stay.

I had bigger dreams,
Bigger than life.
They said that I was sharp,
More so than a knife.

The distance was tough,
But we tried our best.
Our love was crumbling,
As it was put to the test.

The need for each other,
Quickly faded away,
I remember you once said,
"I will always stay."

I moved back home,
To try and fix us.
But I quickly realised,
That there wasn't even lust.

We were supposed to be perfect,
So we didn't break up,
But no one else noticed,
How we would always blow up.

2 months later,
An argument broke out.
Everything fell apart,
As we screamed and shout.

You stopped visiting,
And I moved away.
It just wasn't working,
So we ended in May.

The memories still haunt me,
They were oh so sweet.
But I'm glad it's over,
Even though it was a treat.

So my dear first love,
I have you to thank.
For showing me light,
In a life so dank.

Love, Alaina Evans.

I have been working on this for the longest time. I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while, school started two weeks ago and I've got NAPLAN in 5 weeks and then exams less than a month later. My schedule is going to be pretty tight, but please bear with me. Thank you! 😊
