Girl from Half Moon Bay

Crazy was never boring.
But it couldn’t be built to last.

Her love had sharp edges.
The cutting kind with no concern.

As if she could mend everything
with all of my pieces.

must have been either a sorcerer or a seamstress, maybe both!

I've known...

that kind. The ones who don't care about where their affections come from or go to, each one has to be better than the last.
Anyhow, nice job. ~ Geez.

Girl From Half Moon Bay

Hello, Michael,
Love the title. Right away it gives me the feeling of a very significant place and time period, much like the movie title, "Summer of '42." Nice final line that sums it all up.
Thank you,
L
(Looked up Half Moon Bay - beautiful! I hope you also have fond memories there, too!)
