Who I Once Was by Tarna

I wonder when I will know who I am
When I think I know, I change
Even after all these years
I'm still changing

I thought I knew me, what I wanted
I traded true love for security
After all these years I now realize
That this was not what I wanted at all

I used to believe in love a long time ago
But with a swords stab, it broke my heart
I vowed never to hurt like that again
I closed a door on what I once held true

I remember that it wasn't money I desired
I gave it up for freedom long before
But after love there was nothing left
Only the money that bought me security

I look back on what I used to believe
And the diamonds don't shine so brightly
They are a price I paid to hide the hurt
I miss who I was and dread what I have become

I want to feel as I once did
With the man I once felt it with
I want my dreams to shine again
and fall into love's arms.

Nice
Nice poem. Enjoyed it alot. Hard to find that spark again and when the flame dies out and you're left holding a cold rock. Keep up your good work.
