POEM STARTER

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

the One That Got Away

“The one that got away”

I’ve kept my eye on you

Yet I never acted upon it

I still wonder what would of happened if I did

Would you still be

“The one that got away”

If we never even were together?

The idea of you

Was waiting to happen

But just never did

I know you felt the same way about me once

You have had to

Was I “the one that got away”?

I do miss you sometimes

Even when im always focused on someone else

Your always in the back of my mind

Some part of me is always wondering

And will always wonder

“The one that got away”

Maybe if I wasn’t so focused on him

I could of seen you

You could of been a bigger part of my life

I was just to blind to see it

“The one that got away”

Your simple name

Has a small cutout of my heart

For it skips a beat when I hear it

People think that name means nothing to me

It shouldn’t, But I does

“The one that got away”

You could of been everything

But you were nothing

“The one that got away”

You don’t always have to be

Called in such way

I know there’s a possibility you could be

That one that stays
