once upon a time
there were midnight walks along great cities
and kisses snuck in through a back window
once upon a time
there were dates at a museum
and moments stolen from a tight schedule
once upon a time
there was laughter heard at 3 am
and romantic notes written
once upon a time
there were two young souls,
hopelessly in love.
once upon a time
there were arguments
and objects thrown across the room
once upon a time
there were broken bones
and wounds to the heart
once upon a time
there were plates flung at foreheads
and tears streaming down faces
once upon a time
there was a love trying to be fixed.
but you can't fix something that began shattered.
