Elizabeth Dispenza Poet Free verse

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.
