This is just a little poem/vignette. I have never written in this style before so not sure how it turned out.
Thanks to Onisius yet again
Once…
He had never questioned…
Once…
He had never resisted…
Once…
He had believed all of their lies…
Once…
He had lost a friend…
Once…
He had been told he couldn't save everyone…
Once…
He had tried to save them all…
Once…
He had destroyed innocent lives…
Once…
He had tried to balance the scales …
Once…
He had felt compassion and empathy…
Once…
He had tried to find justice in an unjust world…
Once…
He had fought them with every fibre of his being…
Once…
He had run from them with every breath in his body…
Once…
He could be anything he wanted to be…
Once…
He had known what he wanted…
Once...
He had believed in the future...
Once…
He had cared…
Once…
He had almost kissed her.
