Love Poem: Libby

Libby

She experienced life
in her own way

The way a woman will.

At times she loved a man.
At times she was alone.

Collecting Memories,

Like shells on a beach
Or stored in jars,

Beside the mirror
In her bathroom.

Water, always the way,
In which her life flowed.

And now, she returned
To the memory of a well,

Into which she once
Cast her wishes.

Like the one about that boy.

The one.. 

That never came true.
