POEM STARTER
Compose a poem centred around the theme of 'the one that got away'.
In Your Eyes
You know my thoughts but that’s okay
You look at me I look away
Cuz in your eyes I see what’s true
Why I could never be with you
Was all you fault, you made it start
Played with my mind and with my heart
I was young and saw no harm
Falling deeper for your charm
We fell hard, didn’t take long
Had so much fun, the passion strong
On and off, every time I’d mend
But easily fall in, over and over again
Then I met him and he was good
Between our mess of could or should
When I chose him, that’s when you’d flip
Your feelings changed, I felt your grip
Was it me or that you lost
I had to choose and weighed the cost
You broke down walls, my heart hit the floor
Said all the things I’d been waiting for
But he was good and his love so strong
Chose what felt right, I wasn’t wrong
And now the area is not so grey
Cuz I’m the one that got away.
