I Once Loved You

Darling, I once loved you, What remains now is friendship. Gone is the massive hardship, I feel free like an escaped cockatoo. I have no regret, And that's no secret. I am no longer bitter; I can truly breathe better. My friend, I once love you, Seeking the amenities of Heaven. I once saw, with my own eyes, Satan, Eating, at your doorstep, a honeydew. Beloved, I once loved you, That was a serious burden. My dream was to find a haven, In your heart, a place of rescue. However, I was evidently wrong. I don't want to play the old song; I have moved on, I have flown on, Without remorse, proud, and alone. My dear, I once loved your style, Which is now archaic and antiquated. I have now on my face a gigantic smile. I'm very happy, loved, content, and elated. Copyright © May 2017, Hebert Logerie, All rights reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several books of poetry.
