I Too Was Once Loved

I too was once loved As I remember A time when his name Caused seizures in my tummy Oxygen debts to my beating heart Dreams to my forgotten mind The north wind to my soul Life sights that can never be appreciated when not seen by his side I too was once loved As I remember A moment in time when the clock ran And I bathed in its ticking A time when never Did I wonder Nor did I covet For he was all that I needed With him and in him I found me My inner beauty My hidden talents My flaws Of greed Envy Obsession Vanity Egoism Insensitivity and Tyranny My flaws All beyond his care I too was once loved As I remember A point during my greatest flaws, When I was shown Sincerity Compassion Tolerance Commitment Forgiveness Love and Passion All taken for granted And now I too understand Why I was once loved Why his beauty can never love my beast again
