First Time

First time
you get hurt by love
sea sick in the stomach
your body lifeless
your heart stops beating
no breathing
you want to believe its fiction
but its true
sweetness no longer
taste sweet and bitterness
foams at the mouth
first time
you get hurt by love
you know what hurting
is all about

Very nicely written with vivid images.
I hate to tell you this, but it hurts just as much each time.
Good poem.
