1.

we just could not get beyond the hurt,

come back together with self-renewed

my mind squeezing out the bad thoughts

5.

the sounds and smells of love making

came back to me this morning as did

your memory and I felt the emptiness

and the hollowness you left behind.

6.

there wasn't much to hold us together

but it didn't take much and it was over

before it had gotten off to a good start.

7.

I found her lonely and offered myself

and quickly that too was taken away

and she was left on her own again.

her heart was not my concern even

though I had broken it...  her feelings

were tightly sealed away out of reach.

10.

her love had been there just

for me to take at the right

place and at the right time,

no one said it was to last.
