Once Upon a Time

There was a moment in time where I was content,
when you were my life and all that it meant!
There’s a vision of the past that bares your face
but today it shows me a desolate place.

These pictures that you see are of a life I knew,
And of all the bounty that I gave to you.
I still hear you telling me I that I am your soul
but now your absence restrain me from being whole!

Once I prayed to see your return,
when the fire of hope continued to burn.
I feel your presence every now and then
but I feel the pain you caused again and again!

Once upon a time when you were mine,
through my smile the stars would shine!
Take a look at the emptiness that I possess,
Stare into the eyes of my distress!

Know that once upon a time I was one.
Now you are the reason I am none!
