Poem I wrote as a young female adult over first heartbreak.
She's the girl
I left behind
The girl inside
Who blew your mind

The girl without
A care or thought
The girl who left
With a broken heart

She's grown older
He's grown cold
Their life together
Remains untold

Their dreams and passions
Exist in time
Forgotten feelings
She longs to find

Extinguished fire
From a lover's flame
With char-coaled ashes
Now who's to blame

Love had scared her
So, she ran away
But, dying inside her
Was a longing to stay

Love's what she wanted
But, love doesn't last
Because love is a shadow
That dwells in the past
