What Once Was
Sincerely I place my write
Words between the lines
Younger than the verses
Lies a deeper meaning within
She carries a hopeful message
A truth only with she can carry
Honorable a heartfelt cast
Stating all the she ever knew
Below her deep set eyes
The love we once knew rings true
Holding peace, truth, and southern life
Each with a bell that can ring proud
Lifting me beyond this terror
Bringing maybe a love beyond
A visit from the hopeful past
Seeing what was once hope
But now hones a wisp of pain
Seeing what once was
Is a dark hole of black absence
A horrible vision of night hell
