Mine: A Mickara Poem

He was taken

By someone I couldn't compete with

Somehow, some way

I caught his eye

I knew she was jealous

Probably angry

But was it really my fault?

Maybe

He did end up mine

I saw our future

The nerd girl

And the jock guy

How did we have anything in common?

Then he went to Australia

I found someone else

I should've stayed where I was

With Mick

Mick was mine

Not Jerome

I should've listened

I should've remembered: MICKARA

Not Marome; Mickara

Mickara was mine

Mine to keep
