The Boy Who Was Once a Man
In unimaginable disarray, there he lie
The boy who was once a man
Deserted by family friends and left to die
All he desired was to fulfill his most sacred dream
He didn’t desire anyone else or any other thing
But without the love of another his goal was too extreme
One fateful day he came across his chance of true devotion
One being was all it took to steal his legs from underneath him
An angel so stunning was thought to be caught in his imagination
This woman was as truly beautiful and pure as man could ever think
Because of her strikingly luminous aura of animation
In the boys head she had become an indelible ink
The boy realized he didn’t have enough virtue to be with that of a saint
His dream wouldn’t last without the missing piece of his withered heart
He understood he should forget about her but it took too much restraint
His dream had ceased to exist and been erased from his mind
His vow from childhood seemed to vanish in an instant
Thus he relinquished his eternal passion at which he shined
This boy who was once a man at the peak of his game
With every intention of being the best
Now seemed to be at the bottom with only him-self to blame
This “boy” was separated from the rest of the men
The only thing still keeping him going today
Was the chance to see his fair maiden again
…………………….This boy was once a man
