My thoughts are twisted <br />This shouldn't be <br />I never meant for this <br />My emotions are too strong <br />Save me from myself <br />I couldn't even say the words <br />Life crumbled before my eyes <br />My only road to happiness <br />I cut off from your love <br />Crowded my mind with silly things <br />Thought I found love again <br />To my innocence I held on tight <br />Saving myself for your return <br />But like winter over fall's bright colors <br />My battle was wholly lost <br />I have nothing left to give you <br />But the memories we shared <br />Life's lessons are never easy <br />But love's, I always fail <br />For first love is the truest love <br />No matter how they end <br />But each one dreams of going back <br />And I am no exception <br />I pray some day you'll see my face <br />And realize what you missed <br />Come back to me, my dear<br /><br />Rebekah Parrish<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-first-love-s-prayer/
