Once

By U2jess

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I once lived a life, with smiles that never grew weary. Eyes, that never stopped sparkling, A soul, that never endured pain. Then, Life died. I want and need it back. Just a creature who lurks on this earth, am I. How has all this come to be, you may ask. Well I'll tell you. A foolish dream, A selfish desire. People call it love... I call it death.
