Once Had

Author's Note:
I was playing around with different amounts of lines in each stanza in this poem.  I would appreciate comments on whether it was still readable. 

I wish that you could see

That we were wrong

I wish that you could see

That everything we had once is gone

No more memories

To fight

Forever long

Until tonight

I hoped that we

Could make this right

But it's gone

It's out of sight

Our blindness from

These flashing lights

Was struck down

No longer high

I just want to make

This right

But after all

At least I tried

We hate each other

All the time

I know from

Your plastic smiles

Our happiness

Has been a while

I know this hatred

Isn't mild

Shake it off

The best that you can

Leave it in your

Other hand

Cause I know that

I can't stand

You blew me off

Just like a fan

I know this from

Our throwing plates

Our constant lack

Of any dates

I now know that

This wasn't fate

And that we are

A little late

We're in trouble

And I know it

I just wish

We could've shown it

And now we've

Gone and blown it

All this nonsense

For a boy and girl

All this trouble

Spinning in a whirl

But you are what I want

You have all of it and more

And I just can't help

You are what I adore

I hate this new found

Lack of you

It's what I do not

Have of you

I just wish I'd stop

Coming back to you.
