First Boyfriend
by
Dina Dinsmoor
Tender smile of 14
I had never been kissed
i was only 13
you were first on my list
you gave my a silver bracelet
inscribed simply "love"
I still keep it hidden
where my father cant steal it
like he stole all I've ever owned
in the music box
My first husband gave me
difficult to find
Dear Brian, Dear Lee
My words were not my own
A shadow stood behind
And whisped out my mouth
Those envious goodbyes
