Poem: PS* It wasn’t love

PS* it wasn't love

To all the boys I’ve ‘loved’ before,

Ps* It wasn’t love.

Pubescent chemistry, hormonal intensity, Teenage exploration and curiosity, Questions about life and sexuality, These were all it was to me.

PS* I didn’t know love.

Your constant pursuant nagging, pressing me, Your claims of admiration for my body, All fell on deaf ears. You exposed you puerile, needy, greedy, lust to me,

PS* I knew that wasn’t love.

Let’s get married, we’d make a great couple, Don’t you agree? Let’s have a batch of children, two, maybe three, I know we’d be good together you and me, Sorry, Luv we’re friends, we’ll never be family,

PS* I’m still not in love.

My guarded heart shattered the moment I gave it to you, My one life regret, I knew it was too good to be true, In my heart, I knew it couldn’t have been you, You claimed you were obsessed with me, That’s the scariest thing anyone has ever said to me,

PS* We were definitely not in love.

No regrets, chalk it up to life experiences, You had your way, I made my choices, At the end of the day, no matter what anyone says, Our ‘romance’ was fake, No matter how many outings together, How many great dates,

PS* It wasn’t love
