A Child I Once Knew
A child I once knew
was grumpy and blue
He knew something
but hoped it wasn't true.
He looked to the sky
and prayed everyday
that there will be a time
where he will commit the biggest crime.
That crime was
LOVE.
He knew if he had done that
it could never be reversed.
But deep inside
He knew it was a curse.
He tried many things to find true happiness
In the end, he began feeling helpless.
He needed the warmth and care
But everyone gave him looks and despair.
He started to hate himself from head to toe
A seed was planted in him and it started to grow
As days passed,
he wanted to end things so fast.
He tried this one and that
and everything from his hat
But none of everything worked
And that was that.
Years passed and he knew it will come to an end,
he laid in his bed to wait and said,
"My time has come. There's no one for me.
It's time to go and set me free."
With that last breath,
he lay fast asleep.
The next day came,
many people weeped.
Goodbye my dear friend,
the one I care for all along.
I'm sorry not being there for you
so long.
