Once

What it now feels like to be disposable in a once valuable relationship.

Once

2017, Anthony T. Mittelo

 

Once needed

Once necessary

Once irreplaceable

Now expendable.

 

Once loved

Once treasured

Once favorable

Now forgettable.

 

Once revered

Once respected

Once honorable

Now contemptible.

 

Once praised

Once encouraged

Once commendable

Now inconceivable

 

Once hopeful

Once thoughtful

Once memorable

Now regrettable.

 

Now discarded

Now despised

Now doubtful

Once alive.
