Once

by Brittany C   Dec 2, 2006


I loved once so long ago
and was loved back once,
but that love is no more.
I was free as the eagle,
but now I'm grounded by pain.

I was happy once so long ago,
but now you're gone,
and I don't understand why
you had to leave me.
Now all I know is sadness,
ever sense you left my life.

I loved you once,
and you loved me,
but now you're gone forever,
and I am left here,
all by my self.
In this lonely cold world,

Oh how lonely am I,
to wish that I was no more?
When you died,
so did my heart and soul.
For they were bound to you.

I miss you so,
and just can't go on.
So I will see you soon,
My one true love,
For I belong in your arms.

    How very sad, to want to die at your age for love...I do understand, though..some people can touch us in such a way, we feel we will never love that way again.
    You did a good job on expressing your emotions:)

    Take care,

    5/5 Ingrid

    The flow was off a little, but nothing major. The word usage was really good and this piece had a lot of emotion to it. I loved reading it simply because of the emotion I felt coming from it... very good write.

    I was happy once so long ago,
    but now you're gone,
    ^^ simple and very effective... these were my two favorite lines.

    5/5 for sure!

    I really liked this poem it showed a really good flow..but I know the title is once.. but it doesn't really mean you should use it often.. the first stanza.. I think you used once three time.. not so sure.. but all together you used once like 4 or 5 time in a poem.. that way tooo much.. srry ... Im very blunt once again.. anyway good job and keep up the good work though 4/5
