I can see it now at a fragile age your first love second love whatever love that you should want because you will not be denied, have never been denied. I used to rest my head between your shoulderblades and listen to you talking we all knew you were so brilliant. you are more than I will ever have the chance to be but I don't mourn for that anymore. I used to break down at the very mention of your name and shake, and cry it's been three years and still i love you.

This is very direct, though I don't really understand the first/second love part - is that you? Or someone else? Anyway, you should forget this person and move on, you'll be happier.

the end makes me think of a cut-out picture shrine with incense and candles.

I thought this was going to be good but it fell apart line by line until it pooped out in horrific fashion at the end.

Are you the child of Mr. Zappa? This is a nicely melancholic, elegiac poem, and it uses the word shoulderblades. Excellent.
