POEM STARTER
Compose a poem centred around the theme of 'the one that got away'.
Maybe
What brings you on my doorstep today
Wasnโt I the one that led you astray
You didnโt care to talk to me
Talk
All we did was talk
But one day you decided the talking was limiting
Limiting your walking
So no I donโt feel like talking
To this day
You were the one that decided to run away
I never thought Iโd see you until today
But here you are at my door step
Wanting me to play this game but now your way
Maybe it was for the best
I needed some time away
To lay my head down and reflect on the way
The way you treated me when we were together
Maybe itโs better
Better to be away from you
So no
I donโt want to talk
Iโm glad you left
I had to get you out somehow someway
And not that Iโm looking in your eyes today
Maybe it was I
Maybe I was the one that got away
