To My Very First Lover

A Poem

By Jade MillardPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

Not only were you my first love,

But you were also my first heartbreak

When we were together, you would make my heart ache

Whether that was through undeniable lust, or simply a lack of trust

I genuinely did see a future for the both of us

That's no longer a topic which the two of us shall discuss

The beginning of our relationship was comparable to "the calm before the storm"

At first, all you ever did was kept me safe and warm

You were the human that I referred to as my home

I didn't believe for one second that you would ever leave me alone

Months went by and it became apparent that you were the storm

Not only did I then end up alone, but I also ended up torn

It was now time to start listening to the signs

I had to grow and figure out what I wanted on my own

It was now time to forget calling another human my home.
