My Love

Alexander Knight

I feel worthless.

Has my ignorance given birth

To this?

Did I not give

Attention you needed?

Forget you exist

Even if for a moment?

Has your love for me depleted?

If so, then I stand to bear testament:

Maybe I didn’t treat you like the

Goddess you are;

May have abused you

And used you

And pushed too hard.

I never thought

I’d hurt you;

you seemed too strong,

Too brave,

Too true.

I try to tell myself that you’ll pull through.

Guess I should have thought of this

Going round the bends.

I beg God,

Tell me

What we have doesn’t have to end.

Remember the hour we spent

Parked by the lake?

And all of the fun we had

On our very first date!

Went to movies and parties,

Ate out all the time. Been through more together

Than all my best friends

Combined.

Many ups,

Many downs,

Never once saw you frown.

Saw me at my worst,

Broke the law, heard me curse.

No matter what I did

You were always there for me,

And when I was with you

Was the only time I was free.

I’ll remember you through eternity.

You were my very first car.
