Only Once Poem by James Casey

Only Once

Only once in your life you find someone
Someone that clicks and feels so right
Someone that you've wished for
Someone you wanted with all your might

She walked into my life changed everything
She then sends me away like I was nothing
I don't know how to feel know what to say
I'm used and desolate I love her so I just obey

What does the future hold will I find another?
The happiness I felt in her arms died before it began
Even now I wonder was it because I was weak?
Was I not enough for her? , if so I was at my peak

Is there no more to come? , no more to follow?
Will I be alone forever? , and end up hollow?
She is the second one who left me in disillusion
Somehow, I've lost this truly wonderful woman

This day was worse than that day I lost my mother
When I was ten, she left and ran off with another
Today I offered another my heart she crushed it with ease
Why is it women are such a horribly cruel species?
