"Always take your chances."

You Once Did

Love is scary isn't it?

Most people will agree

Feelings left unrequited

Hearts shattered into pieces

People don't believe that forever is true

Forever is true

Just find the right person

But the right person sometimes….just doesn't appear

Maybe the right person does appear

Maybe they do exist

Maybe the one is yours

Maybe they are not

What is left of a broken heart?

Nothing

Just the feeling of…

Hopelessness

It takes a while to recover

How do you fix a broken heart?

Because it hurts so much

Her hand interlaced with another

You can't sleep properly

You know that you could've confessed sooner

You know that you could've been together earlier

And yet….you hesitated

All you could do was watch

Watch as someone else confessed

Watch as they accepted

Watch as they were slipping away from your grasp

"I never stood a chance did I?" you asked

"You once did," was their reply

Surprised wasn't your reaction

Regret was

To think that you had a chance

To think that they could've accepted

To think that your dream could've been a reality

Your own hesitation caused your own doom


Side note, this is a one-sided YohaMaru and a MaruRuby poem.

I think this piece is good actually. (Probably because I wrote a SS! story that doesn't revolve around my beloved second years)

And I think I wrote too much (subjective) within the span of a week. This originally wasn't supposed to be a poem but I just couldn't imagine anything so I was like, "Imma use a poem."

I hope you enjoyed!
