Prisoners of Youth

By OnceUpon

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You broke the law, And stole my heart, And your sentence Was me. Did you wish then As I wish now? That our love was special So special. Am I speaking blind? Was there ever anything as So remote as love In our term. I still see you And I know you see me But only a nervous smile Passes between us now. I am not proud of myself I understand no more than you do I was young and stupid and scared, I was also in love. Written January 28th, 2002 © on Jan 28 2002 08:12 AM PST   0 • 8
