Once Was

To old times. I will always Love them, and that One.

I cannot speak ill of what once was

For it brought me to be who I am now

Although we were connected

With what seemed like fate

Tears at the heart-strings brought a change

I can say betrayal, stupidity, and lust

But that is for a man that once was

Unity, what was multiple being whole

Blossomed deep into our core

Difficult to let go

The ethereal nothing that resides inside us

Euphoric, and sublime, soothing my soul

I can say it was my favorite kind of drug

But that was for a Love that once was

you write with an impressive depth for introspection and perceptiveness, you are talented, I would say keep writing about the things that inspire you, and use more provoking imagery.. I especially liked "we were connected with what seemed like fate", also the idea that both the love and the man had evolved, "the ethereal nothing", and to liken it to a drug is very true and in itself sends an array of imagery to the brain, great piece.

Thank you, I hope to continue with my writing throughout my life. =)

Only thing that I would fix is in the line about ethereal nothing. "The ethereal nothing that reside inside us." Your subject and your verb don't agree. You should either change nothing to nothings or reside to resides, but don't do both. Other than that I don't see much reason for change. Well done.

Oh! Thank you, I did not catch onto that. =) I will change it right now.

My pleasure. Happy to be of help. Sometimes the writer cannot catch every mistake. That's what we're here for.
