You'Re My Past Poem by Bironga Chadwick

Once upon a time you were my fairy tale.
First came love then out popped a baby.
There should have been a marriage
But we turned each other on and lost “a good thing”
Because of our bossy tirades.
When the nightmare began,
I choose not to walk away
From the drama that unfolded
Right before my I'm-so-in-love eyes.
I should have listened to the voices of my heart
When it said that things were bad right from the start;
I should have gotten out when the time presented itself
For me to make my great escape.
Maybe I would have been happier now
Instead of wondering when life will spare me
an ounce of happiness.
I have stopped dreaming of spending
My days and time with you.
In fact, I don’t even remember
All the reasons why I loved you
As much as I thought I did
…and to think that one day
I was looking forward
to being your sweeter, wiser half.
