#tripped
losing my trombone music
was the first mess-up today
then i broke down in the bathroom
after 6th period
i tripped up the stairs after school
and bruised my ego (and my knees and hands)
at work tonight
i lost keys
to a big glass cigarette case
under it
and because I messed up
i got nervous
and kept messing up,
over and over and over again
on my break
i sat in the break room and tried not to cry
because there were other people in there
and i didn't want them to see me
life was going so well
why does it have to go downhill now?

I never meant to love you.
You caught me
On the way to my solitude
And tripped me,
So casually.
Did you even notice
That I fell?

I tripped over your ill
angled shoe..
Face planting the floor..
scuff marked pride,
as I got up stupid woman,
I uttered this under my breath...
I tripped over your ill
angled shoe..
coffee in hand,
a master of balance..
Not one droplet spilt,
but I saw you awkwardly
gaze at me, and I smiled.
The next few days,
I took another path.
missing your haphazard
feet entrapping my gaze..
I pondered the view,
the reason for my needing to
stumble...
Walking past where you sat,
now vacant.
I was glum at the thought
of you not fumbling my stance.
Collecting myself on days past,
I walked a new path to my office.
I tripped over your ill
angled shoe..
Face planting the floor..
scuff marked pride.
Getting up I asked you
a question..
*"I've fallen for you so many times
I think I'm in love,*
You can only fall so many times
before you realise that its love.
I showed the marks that I'd
fallen for you,
more than most would.
