ONCE

By: Jessica Flores

I once lived a life, with smiles that never grew weary.

Eyes, that never stopped sparkling,

A soul, that never endured pain.

Then, Life died.

I want and need it back.

Just a creature who lurks on this earth, am I.

How has all this come to be, you may ask.

Well I'll tell you.

A foolish dream,

A selfish desire.

People call it love...

I call it death.
