What once was

Allie561

A face I once knew

Now strangers

A bird that once flew

Now eternally still

Words that used to be true

Now filled with lies

A ship once with a crew

Now with Davy jones

    Nicely done. Your poem reflects on relationships, memories, and the inevitability of change. It contrasts vibrant, lively images with their current desolate states, focusing on the emotional weight of these transformations.

          Allie, this hit me hard…there’s a quiet unraveling here that just keeps tightening. Each turn lands a little heavier than the last. That shift from what was to what is…that stays. Powerful piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
