Once I Knew a Man

Once I knew a man Whom proposed to me a dream and I thought so highly of him As he boosted self-esteem. Set my heart upon him With a vision of success, Though somehow he turned out to be Other and much less. Intention was to marry him How I wished with hope- They’d be a time when he’d be mine Even to elope. The fantasy has now been squished Somehow it came undone, Ponder how a plan for two Unravelled into one. Guess I’ll always be alone For here I do conceive, Love that never came to light Was meant to only grieve. Thus I devise that I shall rise Tomorrow once again, To trick myself it was not real Desire for the man. The aim, the goal has been destroyed Brought me untold woes Must digest and seek to rest… Love comes but then it goes.
