Old Photographs

[Dreamer]

I was going through some old boxes in the storage room...

I found some pictures that I thought I'd never see again,
because they disappeared years ago.

First boyfriend pics.

On my 18th birthday....
arm in arm...
smiles galore...
when things were fresh and new...
a true love..
before the betrayal...
before corruption....
during the honeymoon stages..
when everything was perfect and grand,
and love was blind from truth and reality.

Before lessons were learned...
too late to reconcile..
too late to go back and rethink through the fog,
and get out of something
that would haunt me for years to come...

17 when we met..
19 when he broke my heart
23 when I revisit that place in time
when things were good.
Bittersweet vomit in my brain.
