"I fell in love
The way you fall asleep;
Slowly
And then all at once"**
Falling in love
Is like hitting a sink-hole,
Or so I think,
At first the ground starts to creak,
Then you fall into the blackness
And you forget everything but what is happening
No one can ever understand
What falling in love is like
Until it finally happens,
And once it does,
You know without a doubt
That this is it.
I think Shakespeare and John Green (and Mr. and Mrs. Wachowski) Would agree
John Green wrote The Fault In Our Stars
Mr. and Mrs. Wachowski directed The Matrix
Shakespeare is a God

Me
As far as I’m concerned I am The One.
Just like “The Matrix” I agree.
I hate to be so selfish saying this
But it’s the truth I have to say.

I never did find Love I must confess,
So egocentric I just have to be.
I love my parents and my sister too,
But in the end it’s me who faces all
That Life will throw my way.

And when I die, then you will too
As far as I’m concerned.

No suicide bombing for me my friend,
No martyrdom for me.
Survival Instinct is my god,
Self-preservation is my creed.

I offer no apology
Self-centred I may well just be.
The bigger picture holds no sway,
I’ll just keep living day by day.

Paul Butters
