Misfire

I couldn’t think of much else;
why she left, what I did wrong

It was only obvious some years later,
after more experience with wars of the heart,
it had everything to do with being eighteen

about the title, but it drew me in and that's it's job. So I guess... Words of wisdom from the owner of a broken heart. We all
get them, and I guess that eighteen is one of the hardest times. Good write, nothing much to critique as it is a short one. Looking forward to seeing more from you. Welcome to Neo. ~ Geezer.
