Dead Mans Chest.
I saw her here,
I saw her there,
It would appear
I saw her everywhere.
In the school bus
I sat and stared,
I dreamed of us
As if she she cared.
In my fevered mind
I looked suave and cool,
She remained obdurately blind,
Friends agreed, kind of cruel.
Then, as we passed by
A look, though fleeting
Registered in her eye-
Two pupils meeting.
So it came to pass
With one come-hither glance
That Delilah of a lass
Led this fool a merry dance.
She had her fun
Sadly at my expense,
Fair heart not won-
Her warm heart a pretense.
She left me distraught,
That devils daughter,
Without a second thought
Wrenched at my aorta.
My dreams shattered,
Much like my pride,
Left bowed and battered
Something deep inside me died.
Now I’ve a busted heart,
Broken in twain,
The only good bloody part,
It won’t break ever again.

Oh, that wretched Delilah and the damage. I remember both well. Of course, in my case it was an incubus rather than a succubus but still, damage…

Yes, it doesn’t matter what your affiliation, the first crush is too aptly named. Despite time and scar tissue the phantom pain are more than skin deep.i still blush at the idiot that was!
