Once Upon A Time

I once grew a flower that lost its stem.

I once knew a girl who lost her balance.

I once broke her heart to break mine.
I once spoke my art for the first time.

I let the petals fall into my poetry.
I let the girl stand tall with my thorns.

I let go of the girl and she became a rose.
I let go of the poems because of the blood.

I once let broken people feel whole.
I once let whole people feel broken

I once let go of the broken.
I once let go of the whole.

Once upon a time I fell in love with poetry.
Once upon a time I fell in love with a rose.
Once upon a time I fell in love with a girl.
Once upon a time I fell out of love with time.

And I'm still thinking out her thorns to figure out why she had to make us bleed to breathe.
