Andre Moore Poet Dramatic Verse

Because of you

All because I wasn't willing
To go all the way
She couldn't stay for me
It wasn't death
More like life 
I was on her like children
In a playground 
We played for hours
On moms bed
She and I weren't
Yet 18, but possessed
Everything to go all 
the Way
 
Because she wouldn't stop
For me
I couldn't stop for her

The two of us on a 
Course, treating it like
A fast moving door
Treading in water like
A junkie on there last hit
wanting each other so bad
But neither of us stopped to protect
Ourselves 

When mourning came, I
Was melted ice cream 
While she was a hot
Shower, no wonder people
Say "tell us was it good"?
I just smiled and walked
With a nod"yes" and no one
Ever knew how
She almost cemented me,
It was like a picture a
Painter painted 
On and on without the
Proper colors
It was me at 18 and her
At just 17 and we gave
Each other a hug, knowing 
It wouldn't be our last.
