an analysis of falling (in love)
The falling part is easy.
Wind blowing through your hair;
strands flying in and out of your mouth,
knots forming too--
but that doesn't matter in this moment.
You're in a completely different dimension:
liberated and empowered,
your love can conquer all,
the sky is the limit!
(how ironic that you think this,
when in actuality you are
rapidly moving farther and farther
from the limitless sky.)
But you've got to hit the ground eventually.
You land with a single THUD--
pain coursing through your back,
the bloodstream; your whole body is throbbing
dun dun, dun dun, dun dun
Your pupils are fully dilated,
mouth frozen in a perfect "o"
trying to figure out how on earth
you plan on recovering from this fall.
The falling part is easy,
but you've got to hit the ground eventually.
The real test of character
is picking yourself up afterwards.
