“SOMEONE YOU ONCE LOVED”

THERE YOU ARE NOW APART OF MY PAST,

NICELY PLACED ON THE SHELF OF A MEMORY BANK OF MINE AT LAST,

PUT YOU FAR BACK IN A TIME AND A PLACE,

THOUGH I KNOW THAT TIME AND PLACE IN MY MEMORY CANNOT BE ERASED,

LOVE FOR YOU, WITH YOU, IN YOU I DID CHASE,

TILL THE MOMENTS  YOU DECIDED TO DO AN ABOUT FACE,

ALL MY FEELINGS, MY LOVE I THOUGHT ONE DAY WOULD NEVER BE REPLACED,

SEE I BELIEVED IN YOU, STILL DO, BUT NOW I KNOW YOUR LOVE WASN’T THE SAME AND NOW I FEEL DISGRACE,

TEARS THAT NOW FALL FOR SOMEONE YOU ONCE LOVED SPEED UP THE PACE,

THE PACE IN YOUR HEART THAT WE MONITOR AT RATES,

IT IS NOW ABOVE NORMAL, BUT NO CURE FOR THIS IS IN PLACE,

WHAT WE ONCE HAD LOVE HAS NOW GONE TO WASTE,

I’VE STOPPED REACHING FOR YOU, I’VE LEARNED YOUR LOVE HAS NOT BEEN MISPLACED,

IT JUST DOESN’T INCLUDE ME, YOU DON’T NEED ME, I LEARNED TO CLUTCH, HOLD, AND ONTO MYSELF JUST BRACE,

SOMEONE ONCE LOVED WITH HER LOVE MY BLOOD WAS LACED,

FOR HER AND I TO TOUCH I SIMPLY COULDN’T WAIT,

HER KISS WAS INTIMATE NO MATTER HOW IT WAS GIVEN I COULDN’T CONTAIN MYSELF FOR LOVES EMBRACE,

YOU ONCE LOVED TOO I CAN SEE YOU TOOK THE BAIT,

AMAZING HOW SOMEONE YOU ONCE LOVED YOU CAN NOW PASSIONATELY HATE,

MAYBE IT WAS DESTINED, AND WE HAVE MET THAT DATE,

LOVE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY SAVING GRACE,

THERE WAS NO TIME TABLE LOVE ALWAYS CAME ON TIME LOVE WAS NEVER LATE,

NEVER OPENED ANY DOORS I ALWAYS LEAPED WITH FAITH,

LOVING UNCONDITIONALLY FOR SOMEONE YOU ONCE LOVED UNTIL THEY WALK AWAY,

UNTIL THEY DECIDE TO TAKE IT ALL  YOU REALIZE WHAT IS  AND WHAT WAS AT STAKE,

SOMEONE YOU ONCE DEARLY LOVED HAS MET THEIR FATE,

OR THEY COULD HAVE MET WHO THEY BELIEVE IS THEIR ULTIMATE MATE,

AT THIS VERY MOMENT ALL DREAMS ARE REARRANGED, PUT TO THE SIDE, NEW ONES I’LL HAVE TO CREATE,

WHAT YOU LEARN IS THAT LOVE IS FILLED WITH ONCE LOVED ONES PIECES ON A SINGLE PLATE,

YOU TOO HAVE YOUR COLLECTION, YOU TOO HAVE EXTRA LUGGAGE WEIGHT,

WE ALL NEED TIME TO HEAL, TO REGROUP, TO GET OURSELVES STRAIGHT,

SOMEONE YOU ONCE LOVED MISSES YOU MORE THAN EVER AND REALIZES THEY MADE A MISTAKE,

FOR THEM TO RETURN MAY BE GREAT,

FOR THEM TO BE BETTER THAN EVER LIKE AN UPDATE,

TOGETHER YOUR HEARTS AND EMOTIONS CULMINATE INTO DREAMS THAT ELATE,

SOMEONE YOU ONCE LOVED DOES MORE THAN ACCOMMODATE,

THEY UNDERSTAND YOU AND YOUR FEELINGS THEY DON’T UNDERRATE,

ALLOW ME TO TRANSLATE,

ONCE A LOVE LOST LEAVES YOU IRREVERSIBLE IS THE PAIN AND HEARTBREAK.
