Something I Am Not

Something I Am Not Yours is the face I thought about each day and then to mind sweet memories recalled. You treated me like low life trash you found. I'm here to say that’s something I am not. Yours was the voice I heard inside my mind sometimes with words of kindness then of wrath. You saw me as some cut throat city girl and now you know that’s something I am not. You are the man that lingers in my heart despite the fact you trusted me so little accusing me and saying I am liar. The truth will prove that's something I am not. You are the man that lit a raging flame and had me drive for miles to share the times. Still caught up in the whirlwind of your love? I know for sure that’s something I am not. 8/18/19 Something I Am Not Poetry Contest Sponsored by: craig cornish

I wrote this as an example of blank verse. Other than that it is fictional. I kept thinking of the line that says, "is this the face that launched a thousand ships".
