As I Fall

As I Fall As I Fall, I see the ground. Getting closer, drowning out all sound. Wind in my ears, Tears in my eyes, I see the people, And I laugh at their cries. They don't care, They never did. They smile inside, as their life of me they rid. And as I fall, in me, There's no regret. Except for one, About the girl I'd met. She was my life, she was my smile. I loved her laugh, But hated her all the while. The feeling of necessity, It slowly healed, The mess in me. But soon I knew, That love was fake. As she entered a room, her presence made me shake. It wasn't her, that I'd loved. It was the feeling of purpose, Thats what I'd loved. So as I fall, I do not fight. Because now, at last, I did something right.

This made my heart ache . . . pray that you do find love that is not fake. You are a powerful writer -- your words and sentences were like punches -- hard and fast. Be safe dear one.
