Once

I may become old and broken
quiet and unspoken
lost with no focus
but you loved me once

I may become mean and grey
just to keep the monsters away
fading faster by the day
but you loved me once

I may not be what you wanted
your friends poke fun at that thought
you ll laugh and smile and play along
but you know you loved me once

I may fall and not get up
my eyes will close and never wake up
keep my ashes in your memories
will you one day tell them all

that you loved me once?
