My First Love Poem by Michael Saurer

I still remember
A time long gone
It was frosty December
When everything was done
We never got together
We were far too far away
It didn’t really matter
If I had found a way

Yet she changed my life
With a knife
Deep in my heart
She took some part
I was not innocent
And I was not a gent
I was terribly jealous
And ended on the gallows

But my feelings
Made me strong
I might’ve been wrong
But a fighter I became
Never quitting without shame
Despite the others bearings

This time is long gone
Many things have been done
I seemed defeated for some time
But now I’m back with this rhyme
And I want to thank my very first love
For the man I am and for the times I laugh
