“Such A Shame” Poem of the Day (2022)

Such A Shame

By Ashley O’Hare

I spent years

Reading books of love—

Passion

Sacrifice 

And bliss.

Such a shame 

You were my first

Romantic potential,

Partner—

Thief of my first kiss.

If I could travel

Back into the past,

There isn’t a thing I wouldn’t do

To stop me in my tracks—

To stop feeling like this.
