What Once Was...

What once was warm,
Now is cold,
What once was priceless,
Has now been sold.

What once was a friend,
Is now a foe,
What once was bright,
Has lost it’s glow.

What once was bonding,
Is now torn apart,
What once was full,
Is now an empty cart.

What once was found,
Is now all lost,
What once was comforting,
Now brings frost.

What once was enlightening,
Now dulls my mind,
What once was frightening,
Is strangely kind.

What once was simple,
Is now complex,
What once was love,
Is now a hex.

What once was chained,
Is now set free,
What once was in flight,
Has now become me.

    Thank you for the feedback. The first stuff I've written in a while. My mind has been too cluttered.
