Poems by Pacific Hernandez : 35 / 97
I Loved and Wanted You
All for myself I wanted you
With love have fenced you in my heart
And faithfully you there stayed
Inside my heart and in my house
Within the orchard of my life
But now my house is in ruins
In an empty and treeless yard
My trees of toil did not prosper
And luscious fruits they did not bear
The tasty fruits have never been
The sweetest fruit you did not taste
If I can but the time reverse
I would not want you for myself
