I Once Thought...

by Sarah Ann   Jun 28, 2005


I once thought I could make it
Now I am begging myself to stay
The mirror shows what I can’t be
How I cannot live for another day

I once thought that it was a dream
And quickly this pain would fade
But now I see we couldn’t handle
All the promises that were made

For maybe once I was in real love
But now I am left with only pain
The tears that flood my eyes and
All the blood that makes my rain

I once thought hurting would pass
Yet it seems to linger in my heart
Tears and a fake smile is all I have
Since my whole world fell apart

I once thought I could forget it
Go past everything we used to be
The smiles and all the warm hugs
They refuse to set my mind free

For maybe once I had it so well
I held the world in one bare hand
But then a storm took it all away
One that destroyed all of my land

    Awesome write. I understand this poem completely. Nobody understands me and my thoughts and what I'm going through, but reading this poem makes me realize that I'm not the only one feeling like that. So, great job, great poem.
