What do you think this poem is about?

Deception

Once upon a time, I use to laugh
Once upon a time, I use to care jack
Once upon a time, I use to smile
Once upon a time, I fell in love

I gave my all into this
I gave my life, my heart, and my trust
I was happy and for once had hope
Than life burnt a hole so closed

Now so empty and oh so alone,
Hopeless and lost, is all I have known
'Please love me! ” a little child will plead
Please love me so I wont lose my needs

I see a future in my eye's
I see life is only a lie
To ask what’s on the other side
Soon someday, I’ll take the ride

The ride of life and misfortune
The ride of rides to the devils caldron
He fixes the nest while we plead for the best
Don’t stare between his lines…

I see life blaring round in a hole
A blaring sound that screeches in it home
To ask what’s on the other side
Soon someday, I know I’ll take the ride.

    hey it's ok Adam, sad, I didn't understand, 'then life burnt a hole so closed'
    maybe I'm reading too much into it.
