first love, first date, first kiss
but not all firsts are so sweet
remember? our first time fighting
swollen prides, screaming lies
i was afraid that your attention
got stolen from me by another girl
my eyes sting again thinking about it
it couldn't be true you reassured me so
soft quick feathery breaths and sobs left my
quivering lips as i held onto you for dear life
my heart extinguished, the flame gone
but that wasn't enough; i still doubted
i sensed something more cynical
however, your words -
those words swept me off my feet
it had me hoping, cured of my anxiety
you had a way to entrance me deeply
i asked you sniffling, struggling to talk
my chest heaved up and down
i longed for clarity, sanity slipping from me
one question and one answer will suffice
"Are you telling me the truth?"
you replied instantly with confidence
"I promise that I am. I love you."
pretty deceit fell from your devilish lips
not one single truth was spoken to me
i found out soon enough oh how i wish i didn't
then maybe it wouldn't hurt so badly to see
my first love leaving with someone else
