Once Upon A Time

a poem about loss of love

Once upon a time, I loved the way you smiled,

Our romance lasted but a little while.

When I looked into your eyes I knew,

That everything was perfect and no one felt blue.



Once upon a time I loved the way you said,

“I love you darling” but those words are dead.

Through the suffering and pain,

Came a clear sky that held no rain.



Once upon a time I loved you,

Once upon a time it was true.

The world was ours for the taking,

What’s left is this heart that won’t stop breaking.
