Once Over
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Once an over has come to be done.
Known to anyone wanting,
It to stay that way as is.
Why is the wishing,
What has been hoping to end...
Missed.
Over and over again.
More.
Than ever before.
To think it not that bad.
When reminiscing it,
As if...
The being betrayed, lied upon,
Deceived and treated disrespectfully...
Was a deserving punishment to receive.
Leaving one left to believe,
The act of being mistreated...
Had been their lack of understanding,
How love is expressed in many ways.
Over and over again,
Misunderstanding...
What should from the beginning,
Was made clearly understood.
Over and over again,
Reminiscing the missing...
The pain of love.
Once over to wish it back!
