First love,
First heartache,
It's all the same to me.
You and I,
We're the darkest sky,
With the brightest stars.
It's such a shame,
We could be forever,
But we'll never be at all.
I guess I was temporarily blind,
When you showed me a way out,
Now I suppose I'm stuck,
In love with you.

Wow, this holds quite a lot of good literary value.
For a start, I especially liked the lines :
"You and I,
We're the darkest sky,
With the brightest stars".
Those lines are really something quite special.  They give the idea of a haunting solitude (the dark sky) however the imagrey of bright, hope filled stars that follows not long behind lifts that up and says that there may be hope, yet the next idea shoots that down.

Although it may be simplistic, often in poetry when you're trying to convey one idea simple is just as effective as complex.
Well done.

Michelle.

Nice work, Erin.  Another delightfully pessimistic view of love.

Nice to read this kind of thing again.
