Debbie Middaugh Poet Rhyme

A Temporary Key

 I remember holding you,
ever so closely.
   I remember loving you 
ever so slowly.

   I seem to have savored
the taste.
   In my mind I often
retrace.

   I can think of nothing but
that day.
   You left me in a state 
of disarray.

   It seemed so damn easy
for you.
   You went away 
and withdrew.

   My family up and
vanished.
   In Your world I was 
banished.

   I was nothing more than 
A pitstop.
   You held my heart, 
you let It drop.

   I still deal with all 
the damage.
   You see I was left with 
A disadvantage.

   Three years later the smoke,
It is still thick.
   That was a foul calculated
mean Trick.

   I still feel it in every cell 
of my body.
   In my world, it's ice-cold
and foggy.

   I now see that you 
Never Loved me.
   To your lock, I was 
A temporary key.
