Once Ago
Love life
 and
 Long live
 to
 Once done
 so
 Long ago
 
 Wishes upon stars
 almost
 Never come true
 as
 Life without love
 comes
 Much too often
 
 Once ago was a loving life
 Once ago was long ago
 Once ago was laughter
 Once ago is gone
 
 We have men and boys
 We have women and girls
 We had love
 We had us
 
 Life is a dance
 Danger is the tune
 To love and to hold
 Does it come true
 
 Once ago was a living life
 Once ago was long ago
 Once ago was wishes
 Once ago is gone
 
 Some days we want to be happy
 Some days we fight
 Some days we enjoy a laugh
 Some days we cry
 
 What we wish is not what we need
 What we need is never known
 What we want is something found
 What we find is nothing there
 
 Once ago was so long
 Once ago was life
 Once ago was happiness
 Once ago is done

I chose that particular image because it shows a broken butterfly, representing broken relationships. There's a light and dark side with untold details and misunderstandings in every curve, every argument.
What I hope people see in this piece is the hidden message between the lines, yet in plain sight as well. I won't tell you what it is.
You have to search within the words and yourself to know its true meaning to YOU.
