First Love Poem by Safin Junayed Rouf

'I can't do this anymore, ' she exclaimed
As she walked out the doorway
Never to return or show her face
Those were the last words she ever said

What should I do? What happens next?
All these thoughts raced through my head
As past memories came from the dead
I stared blankly not knowing what else to expect

I saw her belongings scattered around
All placed in their assigned spot
But now no more to be sought
I looked around for something to pound

First love gives you the strongest kick
Causing you to do some unusual things
We believe ourselves to be immune to pain
But love makes us feel it over and over again

First love is something that never truly fades
It's memories, in your mind, forever etched
All those events continuously replayed
A renewal of companionship, something farfetched

This betrayal brought out a different being
Something that I couldn't control
Something that couldn't be intervened
I lay helpless as it slowly ripped out my soul

In the end I've become an empty shell
Walking aimlessly in this living hell
My trust in love now in eternal doubt
Life is now something from which I'd like an out
