Like falling down stairs
you know before it happens
that misstep
the drop in your gut
Like falling down stairs
you know the pain before it's felt
that initial shock
the suppressed cry of pain
Like falling down stairs
hoping no one was witness
the embarrassment
the fear of getting back up
We stood at the top
when you pushed me down
the falling
hurt more than the landing
