Once

Once upon a time,
I was alive.
Once upon a time,
I was happy
Once upon a time,
I was in love.

Once upon a time I could trust you.
Once upon a time I thought I knew it all.
Once upon a time I thought I was smart.
Once upon a time I thought I had been given all the tools to succeed in this world.
But then I met you.
And you told me otherwise.

Once upon a time
I died.
