Poetry: I'll finally tell you a story

by ElliotPhaber

Created on: April 09, 2010

To the last day


Fifty-five years ago, I was born into a world of desire,

Yet I felt not the tug or the pull of the Earth on my body.

At the young age of ten, my parents left for the ground,

But I wept little and wished them to return even less.

Twenty-five years ago, the love of my life ran away,

So I did only what I thought I could do – laugh for joy.

In the summer of forever ago, a thief wronged me,

And he got away with it for a moment until I killed him.

Many years ago, I was placed in prison and I remain still

Because I wrote the first line over twenty years ago.
