it's not my doing

the first
love
of your life
was a girl
by the name of
karen.
she had deep
dark hair, and
eyes bright
and brown as
they could be.
you can still
remember the curve
of her shoulder,
her breast,
her knee.
she ended
up marrying
another girl
named brenda.
you want to believe
that you had nothing
to do with that,
you aren't sure though,
and given
another chance,
you'd like
to set the record
straight. so
to speak.
