Once Upon A Time Poem by kamilla davila

Happiness, I have only seen once in my life

Once upon a time there was a woman and a man who loved each other very dearly
Then they decided that if they were to be together forever
They would have to run away and be happy, and so they did.

Then the eldest sibling came and soon after the next girl came
But the next never did make it
They were swallowed by their tears as they stared at the empty crib

But the third child came and she was the light of their day
But never did they know what was in store for her
They set it aside as the next two came, a boy and another girl

Soon it came to the point where the third child was now a young woman and it went swell
Betrayal. The storm everyone had warned about
Decided to come and destroy everything in its path

Now where did it leave her?
She made her decision to go along with it and she disappeared within the wind.
Leaving her broken family behind, not ever was she proud of her decision
Oh no, never was she proud

Now she remains with betrayal.
Laughng at her as she falls
Laughing at her while she fails
'You're pathetic! ' it screams in her face

And as the words come out of that mouth
With eyes red as the hot sun and a river running down my cheeks
I lift my head toward the sky and...

SCREAM
