A Price Poem by Matt Mondschein

A price
Is there one to pay
For fixing the wrong
And undoing the day

Can I order amnesia
At half price
Or get double the order
For twice as much

Will my memories be dreams
That haunt me night and day
Will these scars be signs
Showing emotional mistakes that I've made

Is there a buy one get one special
For forgive and forget
Will they take a coupon
I heard that they did

Next isle, happiness
I see it's out of stock
Regardless, for that price
I'd be out of luck

Ah, it's check out time
Handing out regret as you leave
A band -aid for your heart
And a pin for your sleeve

A price
Is there one to pay
Reality
On sale everyday
