I waited to find you forever
Perfection with a simple smile
But your eyes found someone else
I couldn’t get you back
You didn’t love me
I saw the truth
And now you’re
Really
Gone

An English teacher by trade, I’ve spent 32+ years in the classroom, instilling a love of literature (and a tolerance of writing) in my students. I started reading at the age of three and started writing at 13 with a poem about green socks.
