When Once She Loved
By WinglessFaith
For a troubled man did she fall
She took a chance and gave him her all
Loving her through her fewest highs and deepest lows
He held her at night as she faced her foes
Taken with his heart black and blue
She found in him a genuine lover so true
In real love before she could not believe
Head in the clouds with she wanted to marry and conceive
Neither one ready for themselves to care
She was losing hope and him she tried to spare
He was lost in anger and apathy
But pushed her to stay in therapy
Stepping back for both our sake
He said to continue would be a mistake
Now she clings to what she still believes is worth the fight
Even though she knows he's right
Many lessons from him did she learn
For love no more will she yearn
Enough for him she knew she could not be
But when once she loved this she failed to see.
