Poetry: Our love

by Jade Brooks

Backwards Love


Everything is backwards from my heart to my head.

Never started a relationship with going to bed.

Until a man came along and in the sky hung a new moon.

My heart fluttered and lust filled the room.

Guilt questioned my motives and morals disappeared.

The person I have been all my life erased in a mirror.

The power I feel from this man, will it last?

I feel the connection and question all in the past.

Life makes sense for me now all that I lived.

I feel his pain and want to erase and give.

Deep in his eyes I feel for him and awake from sins of my own.

Where I once wanted to run from may stay and call home.

The connection I feel, I know it feels real.

This backwards relationship, my heart he may steal.
