“First it was her eyes
Then it was her smile”
-Passion? by Brandon Lee
She has experienced many a heartbreak, but he was first.
She should resent him for it,
For she constantly thinks about what life was
When it was ok for every thought to be of him and her.
She first fell for his eyes.
Everything was perfect back then.
When she looks back on it,
She remembers how strong the love was,
and how strong the pain was when he said goodbye to her.
But now that he’s back she feels herself falling again for his smile.
Then it was her smile”

For my creative writing class we had to write a golden shovel poem, based on a poem we admire. My poem was based on a line from another Hello Poetry poet, Brandon Lee's poem Passion? (A golden shovel poem: a poem where the last words of each line are words from someone else's poem.)
