I Fell

I fell into love with you

like falling into a comfortable bed

safe and secure, hidden away from the world

no need to tell the world

daydreaming as we lounged

in our most vulnerable state

making comments about the future

unabashedly hopeful about something so precarious

a simple breath could change the course

eventually it did

those days i spent lazing in bed with you suddenly disappeared,

replaced with nights perched on the edge

clutching both hands together, a prayer,

waiting to see your smile in the doorway

more often than not it never came

the messages never received

and eventually, your voice never heard again

I fell out of love with you

like a victim in a car crash

hopeless and screaming at the hands of the clock

begging in vain to see you again
