Once Upon a Time

emotional toying
with what is right and wrong
pulled into a memory of what was
and no longer can be

by choice
we fight for strength
not fall victim to our weaknesses

sometimes i wonder
how long the memories will last
do they ever subside
will they always resurface
when least expected
brought on by a smell
a song, a taste, a touch
something that reminds you
of them

is there a place we can store them
place them in a time capsule
after all that is
what they are
time
resurfacing
minutes, hours, days, years later
breathing reliving

how do we ever erase from our mind
the once upon a time
