Nichole

I listened to
That song
The other night:
Still
I think of you
Every time
Five years later.

How sweet you always were:
A beautiful, pale
Girl to take me
Away from my father
And my dead mother.

You reminded me of
My love
For dope
And made me
Think
You cared.

Nichole,
The first crush
I was close to.
You were a great friend,
Only that.

And

When you told me
You had a boyfriend,
I almost stopped.

I became Mr. Hyde
When I was high.
The mind goes to
Recesses
With too many people
In the room:
You two
And the virgin,
Me, who
Thought love was a
Mighty warrior.

And
When you left
Whats-His-Face,
I was already
Clean.
So just like that,
We

Missed our chances.
