Once upon a summers eve, <br />you sought out my heart to deceive; <br />For on the morrow you will leave, <br /> Leave me here alone. <br /> <br /> <br />Once upon a time you loved me, <br />you said no one could rise above me; <br />Now all you seek to do is shove me, <br /> Further on my own. <br /> <br /> <br />I cannot help myself but question, <br />why were you so fatefully destined; <br />To leave my heart without a mention, <br /> As to how I lost your love? <br /> <br />Then I thought, <br />'Could it really be? <br />The problem here was always me? ' <br />From the beginning, now I see... <br /> I never really had your love. <br /> <br />No, the fault here was not mine, <br />I did not see it at that time; <br />For through my love, I was blind, <br /> Blinded from the truth. <br /> <br />This cannot truely be goodbye, <br />I cannot possibly understand why; <br />That you to my face would purposely lie, <br /> About what I meant to you. <br /> <br />Regardless on what I think or feel, <br />I will seek you out to reveal; <br />I pray my heart to be still... <br /> For this is what I must do! <br /> <br />Closer to you my heart grows stronger, <br />hesitating then no longer; <br />For no more nights will I sit and wonder, <br /> What I truely meant to you. <br /> <br />'Why pray tell must you leave me? <br />Have you always planned to deceive me? <br />Did you really think it would be easy, <br /> For me to say good-bye? ' <br /> <br />'I'm sorry! ' He said, 'I no longer love you, <br />I honestly never meant to hurt you; <br />Your soul mate is one you cannot choose...' <br /> It was then I began to cry. <br /> <br />Once upon a summers eve, <br />the day my heart you did deceive; <br />was the day that you did keep, <br /> A piece of me with you. <br /> <br />For as long as on this earth I remain, <br />is as long as my love will be the same; <br />Until the day that you reclaim, <br /> My love I hold for you. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />*10-25-03<br /><br />Nikia Chesney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/once-upon-a-summers-eve/
