Poetry: Untitled


Untitled

She has never experienced true love
Yes, there was always someone around – men and women
who wanted to embrace and caress her,
but in a noncommittal way.

Thanks, Cathy. There is more to come about love and lost. It's semi-personal because I'm relating to what I've grabbed from the air and what I remember.
