No Fairy Tales
I do
I do
Once upon a time
I did
Crash
Blood
Dismembered parts of us
Burned arteries
Holding
A heart
Still beating
Still bleeding
the past
Is a blade
Memories cut
Deep
As the knife of regret
Slices what’s left
Of our lives
I do
I do
Once upon a time
Remember you
What was
So different
From
What is
And what now is not.
