My First Love
By Olufunke Kolapo
Your persistent knock
I awaken from a deep sleep
Sneaked past my defences
Seduced my heart and hope
Caught a glimpse of your sweet love
Bang! - the door on that gripping world
The jarring ache of loss and horror
Ushered in the uncanny truth
Forever is too long for you

Reminds me of the fleeting feelings of a first love in that this piece seemed to jump from one line to the next. I feel like this poem could have been longer, but its good nonetheless! ^_^

Always a fan of work like this. Where one word changes the entire emotion of the whole piece. A great piece.
