Random Thoughts of Who We Used to Be
My fingers spoke grief on your skin
While you slept soundly
Bathed in the afterglow
Of the lies our bodies told
While you slept soundly
Bathed in the afterglow
Of the lies our bodies told

This is short but impactful.
I was so young (High School) with my first love. Feels like another lifetime ago.
When it didn't work out, I thought it would be the end of the world.
Turns out, not so much. LOL

I love the tight-ness of the syllable count as it flows beautifully and is a lovely poem. The last line is very thought provocative and leaves an impact for food for thought. The poem to me indicates love of this individual but also friction. Like you worship his/her body more than the inner soul of which troubles you.

Thank you, poet.
There was a lot of friction. Your last line was correct. It caused a lot of inner turmoil.

A portrayal of a one night stand, or the first time that did not lead to others with the same partner.
"the lies our bodies told" - imagine they were "I love you", "I'll stay with you", "I'll respect you in the morning!

They say that our first love will always be with us whether it was good or bad yet it left a lasting impression that will affect us in ways that we can never change the affect that it had upon the heart and soul and mind ❤️
