My First Heartbreak

I thought i used lotions to make my skin soft and glow I new deep down it was to soften the blow I thought I used perfume to smell sweet and fair I knew deep down it was to clear the air I thought I dressed smartly to look like more appealing It was armor to brace for the knives you were wielding I thought I opened up so that you could protect me I knew deep down you would only reject me So you did. As I thought. With all the precautions I tried to be smart You still pierced my protection and broke my damn heart

Anna, your poem is the tale of first love for most of us. Too bad it doesn't help to know that others have been there. Thank you for sharing.
