The One I Let Get Away Poem by Jerik Middleton

I feel so lost and alone,
I just feel empty at times.
I fear the problem may be,
you will never be mine.

There is pain in my heart,
it burns right through my soul.
I hate life without you,
I feel my heart has grown cold.

Once I realized we wouldn’t be,
It became and obsession.
Just the thought of us together,
having you in my possession.

The excitement overwhelmed me,
but I left you for another.
To this day I don’t understand,
I couldn’t have been blinder.

Now that I have realized,
you were always the only one.
There is nothing I can do,
all hope seems to be gone.

Without you life means nothing,
I am nothing but an empty shell.
If I could have one day with you,
I would welcome eternal hell.

I guess what I am saying,
I have no point to my existence.
If only I could hold you again,
If we could just close the distance.

I wish things were different,
If only I could go to another day.
But I cant and you’ll always be,
the one I let get away.
