Listen to poem:

First Love, First Lover



Double over to capture the pain
Even time won't make these feelings change
Sinking down into the deep
No one is reaching out to me

Man you are tearing my guts out
I still can't get enough
This is what they never warned us about

Ohohoh ohohoh
I'll never recover
I relapse again and again
Oh my first love, first lover
Worse than any other addiction

Ohohoh
Haven't had my fix in so long
Got this itch deep in my bones
Ohohoh I'll never recover
Yea first love, first lover

Withdrawing from you
Hardest thing I've had to do
body shaking,my mind on the move

Thinking about that elusive high
From tender kisses
Memories that make me cry.

Ohohoh ohohoh
I'll never recover
I relapse again and again
Oh my first love, first lover
Worse than any other addiction

Ohohoh
Haven't had my fix in so long
Got this itch deep in my bones
Ohohoh I'll never recover
Yea first love, first lover

Ohohoh ohohoh
I'll never recover
I relapse again and again
Oh my first love, first lover
Worse than any other addiction

Oh oh oh
Haven't had my fix in so long
Got this itch deep in my bones
Ohohoh I'll never recover
Yea first love, first lover
Ohohoh ohohoh ohohoh
Yea, first love, first lover

This is a heart breaking lament.... A beautiful song. Hope it is just fiction. Have a beautiful weekend dear Crystol.

Thank you so much! Not fiction but thankfully a long time ago. I've been in recovery from him for...oh...20 years or so?! Lol xo
