“New love is a fresh breeze, but when it leaves unexpectedly, it knocks the wind right out of you.” By author of this poem Languish Now sick from love, I languish here, and rarely do I leave my bed. I never thought a simple tear that for that guy I’d ever shed. He wore me down with charming ease. Now sick from love, I languish here recalling how like a fresh breeze it felt when I saw him appear. He broke right through my private sphere that I’d been guarding with such care. Now sick from love, I languish here. How could he also bring despair? First love and joy he brought to me. I took his sweet words as sincere. His leaving I did not foresee. Now sick from love, I languish here.

A great first line that lead this reader wanting to find out what you meant by "sick by love". It became apparent as I progressed. So much anguish and upset wrapped up in your words Andrea and with an excellent rhyme scheme made for a great, but poignant read. Cheers - Gary

A wonderful quatern dear Andrea. So well written and full of such expressive lines,’ Now sick from love, I languish here’ He broke right through my private sphere’. So many reading this will be able to relate to it. The repeating line is so poignant. I also love your quote like Inky - absolutely wonderful and the picture pairs well.Good luck in the contest! Hugs and smiles xx

Heartfelt poem. I still remember my first crush. I think of him every so often. Because I was shy and in the 5th 6th 7th grade, I totally ignored him. I enjoyed reading my friend. Good luck in the contest. Stay safe have a nice weekend.
