Once Before

You loved him once before and thought he was everything and more. But he hurt you in ways that lovers wouldn’t do. You tried to win his heart back but he wouldn’t listen. He had found another and you denied it every single day. You wished and prayed for a love that could not be. You asked your friends to talk some sense into him, but he just walked away. He told them you were the past and the mistake he had made. You blamed yourself for making things worse and being used. But in an instant he shattered your heart into pieces and made you cry the tears that ran down. You loved him once before and thought he was everything and more. But now it’s time for the tears to stop falling because I miss your smile and your laughter that could brighten any day.
