POEM STARTER

Compose a poem centred around the theme of 'the one that got away'.

Maybe

What brings you on my doorstep today

Wasnโ€™t I the one that led you astray

You didnโ€™t 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 donโ€™t feel like talking

To this day

You were the one that decided to run away

I never thought Iโ€™d 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 itโ€™s better

Better to be away from you

So no

I donโ€™t want to talk

Iโ€™m glad you left

I had to get you out somehow someway

And not that Iโ€™m looking in your eyes today

Maybe it was I

Maybe I was the one that got away
