POEM STARTER

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

Wander

As we sit in front of each other,

my eyes wander

but yours stay still,

Just as time freezes

and I feel a chill,


My heart beat rises till

I feel my face start to heat up,

and the sudden realization hits

And bit by bit


Seconds pass, but suddenly you seem so far away The cold side of your shoulder felt as if evening days, had gone and went


There was no wind

But I was pinned to the ground as if stuck,

With no way out,

No other route, that would help me escape your eyes And the soft look on your face.

The skies couldn't compare and the sun couldn't shine brighter,

Or hurt my eyes any more than the fear that you would look away


And I'll be left with another day of countless thinking, But when blinking, you were gone, and in an instant, I realized where I was


And as we sat in front of each other,

my eyes stayed still

But yours wandered
