Courtney Snodgrass: Favorites

When I was in 4th grade a girl named Claire
Kicked my ***
And left me on the blacktop
I swore it would never happen again

When I was 17 a girl named Ashley
Kicked my ***
And left my heart in pieces
I swore to never trust love again

I just turned 23 and a girl I shouldn’t name
Kicked my ***
I wanted to give her everything
For the very first time

But I never got off the blacktop
My heart is still in pieces
Love is still untrustworthy
I need to learn to fight.

We accept the love we think we deserve.
I don't accept much.

If Only I Could

If I could reach you one more time,
I'd tell you all is forgiven.

If I could see you one more time,
Your beauty would not be lost on me.

If I could hold you one more time,
I'd never let go.

If I could love you one more time,
Our flame would never go out.

If I could trust you one more time,
My frozen heart would melt.

If only I could...
