What I Loved

What I loved

 First I fell in love with cherries

Then the girl next door

Later books, freedom and justice

None worked out well so far

Cherry gave me a choke once

The girl’s father slapped me around

Books were illegal, trouble with the law

Justice came after me

Landed in prison for a long time

And now,

Cherries, love and freedom

Taste so bitter in my mouth.
