Once Upon a Time Fairy Tale

Once Upon a Time Fairy Tale 
David J Walker

She didn’t ask for them back
The days 
	The nights
The afternoons alone
In that farmer's field

And what would it yield 
But an emptiness 

A nothingness to be filled
in the blank spaces we once 

Occupied in the closeness 
Of lovers in the same places
Of a shared time 
and a certain oneness 

And perhaps it’s all we 
Will ever have to know
That it was real
In a once upon a time 
Fairy tale
