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
