For a While

I can’t remember
If I loved you,
Or put other things
Above you,


But we were
Once together
For a while.

I doubt you ever
Pleased me
And I can’t find
Any reason

Why I stayed
For just one season

Or how it ever
Got that far.


You never picked up
Leaves in autumn
Or cared about
My problems,

Or paused with me
To look up
At a star.

So, perhaps, I never loved you,
Or put other things
Above you,

But surely
I must have loved you...

For a while.

I am also not a techie so I hope I did this right.....check if this will help you.

Thanks, yes that Worked :)

O this make so much sense - I love your poems - read them every day

Thank you, @alishi - I'm glad

It's a nice painting there Johngeddes. And a nice poem as well. Maybe I should write a poem with a painting when I have plenty of freetime at the same time. I guess I should try to paint a nice gem and write a poem about it. And you can try it too, with different nice themes that you might like. I guess I'll try to paint a nice portrait of an American writer and i'll give it to my aunt as a gift for her. I should paint Emily Dickenson, William Shakespeare, Edgar Alan Poe or other famous writers too. Must be a nice idea that I have right?

The painting's not mine - just the poem - as for your plan, go for it!
