Love Wasn't Mine

(119 words)

Love wasn't mine. I didn't own it. I knew nothing of the subject.

I was a poor boy from a poor family. I lived on what I had. I lived on nothing.

I perfected the art of intimidation and thrived on the pain of others. I could have cared less about love.

My mother loved me. I imagine that much, though I wouldn't know. My father loved me. I imagine that, too. I imagine there were sisters and brothers with love to give. But I wouldn't know.

She loved me. She was young and beautiful and she loved me. And she knew love. She found love wherever she went. She was beautiful.

I wish I knew how to love.
