Used to be

You used to always be by my side,
Now your never there...

You used to always talk to me,
Now you refuse to speak...

You used to laugh uncontrollably,
Now you're so quiet...

You used to say forever,
And I used to say always.
Now we say it together,
Never.

It truly is sad when something like this changes someones perspective on something or someone. In the last paragraph, I have a question for you. Do you mean to say "You used to say forever"? You wrote "You used to forever". I hope this might provide some clarification of some sort ( for reader or writer). The color you chose for writing this poem in automatically grabs a readers attention. Why on earth would you pick that color? Well, I think it's because it's about a relationship but I might be the only one who see's that. Anyhow, the tile also plays a hand in grabbing the readers attention. Often, if I want to write a new poem, I just write a title and go from there. I feel like your title was made along with the poem, maybe even afterwards. Don;t give up hope that maybe someone mentioned in this poem will turn back around or your memories will wither fade or be swiftly changed to good. I'm sorry that you had to go through this and have bad memories to prove it but life is difficult and full of mysteries to answer. I hope more people review this poem.

Best regards,

Dell

Thank you, yes I meant to put "you used to say forever" thanks for pointing that out to me. I chose the color purple for the text because we used to look at the sky at night on my roof and it would be the most beautiful shade of violet, I felt it added to the memories with him, even if the reader didn't understand it. My relationship with him now is maybe a letter every other year, his family moved to Florida and we can't really talk anymore..Thank you for the kind words.

Of course! I'm glad I could be of help. That makes sense, beautiful memories to go along with the sad ones...so sad. Of course...:)
