When I was sixteen

When I was sixteen

I fell in love

For the first time

For the last time

Women have come

And then they have gone

Some I liked

Some I fucked

With some I felt I lucked out

And we fell apart

But she has remained with me

Always

In my senses

Throughout.

I mean what’s it about?

You find someone

And you are tongue-tied

Can’t find the words

Or someone lied

Or you regret

You never tried

And then you see her

Married

Harried

Hurried

Buried

And I look away

I think of us at sixteen.
