Such a Short Space of Time Poem, by Carl Halling, at My poetic side

I love, not just those

I knew back then,

But those

Who were young

Back then,

But who've since

Come to grief, who,

Having soared so high,

Found the

Consequent descent

Too dreadful to bear,

With my youth itself,

Which was only

Yesterday,

No, even less time,

A mere moment ago,

How could

Such a short space

Of time

Cause such devastation?

Comment from author about the poem: "Such a Short Space of Time" was based on some kind of confessional piece of writing I briefly worked on sometime in the mid 1990s, but which was never truly realised. It was partly inspired, as I recall, by playing Ten CC's "How Dare You", among other vinyl recordings I'd not heard in what may have been at least a decade.
