You were the light in my darkness,
The fire in my heart.
You brought out the best and the worst in me.
Saved me but also broke me.
You were my first and maybe my worst.
The very thought of you then sent me soaring,
Made my heart beat so loud just like a lion roaring.
Your grandma made me feel like dirt.
No reason or rhyme just thought I wasn't worth her grandson's time.
I was at my lowest and highest points when we were together.
My foolish sixteen-year-old heart thought we'd last forever.
But then you stopped loving me.
Stopped thinking we were meant to be.
Four years later I think back and blame myself.
Maybe if I had been more loving.
Maybe if I had been more caring.
Maybe if I had been less self deprecating,
You'd have stayed.
But you're happier now and that's all I could ask for you.
For you to live your truth.
Be happy in love and life.
Even when your heart faces strife.

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
