Yenaros' mix of lyricism, detail, and style is a dangerous poetic force to be reckoned with.

Victoria XD

Many years have passed since I dated this girl

That once meant more to me than many things in the world.

“Young love”, they called it.

But, I was so blind

To what a relationship really was

I was out of my mind.

Those calls and those talks meant

So much more

Than what I made it out to be.

Granted, that’s what I took them for.

I didn’t really know what to do

Knowing this girl liked me so much

Then, she said, “I love you.”

I found myself starstruck.

I stuttered when I spoke

Annoyed her and choked

Away the one love I’ve ever had.

I was nothing more than a joke.

Valentine’s Day came.

She wanted something, but I was broke.

Turn the clock forward over a decade

And I’m still on the same boat.

The time eventually came when she left

Me for someone better.

I had no idea what to think.

My friends told me don’t sweat her.

More time passed by and she was dating

These new dudes

That had no idea how to treat her,

They saw her like new food.

It was one guy, two guys,

Three guys, the next.

I saw this scene over and over

I was very perplexed.

I had a second chance and blew it

Over stupidity

Because of my old ways

And it ended my validity.

The years have passed on.

We’ve gone our separate ways.

Yet I still feel the pain

That happened the day

It was all over.

I was the reason

Something special was ended.

The relationship was canceled

Put to an end

Suspended.

I know that it’s over.

But, I at least figured I’d write

A poem for this show and tell session.

Thank you,

Goodnight.
