A scattering of fragments into air

"I love him"

hit like creation in a particle collider.

 

Not the words or motions,

just a big, deep, gut punch -

all of a sudden

free falling.

 

And i'm elated, excited

and ******* terrified.

As I flail, clumsily

in my fall.

 

Taunted by

the sharp what-ifs & maybes

that litter the ground

But he whispers

"baby, we're not going down"

 

Now i'm clinging

to this new air/warmth/light,

but afraid that i'm gonna cling

too tight

 

I just got a little panicked

love, when it hit

you kind-of exploded me,

a bit.
