Laura Warthen-Swafford Poet Rhyme

The Only One She Ever Loved

She hangs her head
   Hands clasped together
As the music plays.

A back row seat
    All alone
She bows her head to pray.

She closes her eyes
   His image appears
That old familar grin.

How many years
   She tried to recall
Had it really been?

When their eyes met
   Her heart fell
What if he had known?

Time passed bye
   She never told
How her love had grown.

All those letters
   That she wrote
He will never read.

How she wished
   She would wake
And this was just a dream

Sitting here now
   As her tears rolled
The reality sets in

The only one
   She ever loved
She'll never see again.
