I Fell In Like With You

Inspired by one of my favorite bands, Rise Against, and the song is called, “Ever-changing” (Acoustic). Please listen to this song if you don’t know of it. It’s raw & powerful. “Have you ever been a part of something? That you thought would never end. But then, of course, it did.” –Rise Against “I fell in ‘Like’ with you” With her smile I melted unto oblivion’s redemption Candy coated perceptions, windows’ gap Seeping brilliance refreshment Uncertainty resolution, polished Absorbed into closeness sun Yet these eyes still…see Butterflies taking notice, missing you…as you stood in front of me Strong, yet soft legs Foundation of my face to rest upon Scars…fading A cremated sin Yet, elongated moments of silence Created abruption’s new face The face of change When she turned to me and said “I’m not sure, anymore” Emotional lullaby, rocking me to sleep New battles with spectral flashback Trying to get under my skin, a drunken tick facing demise Phoenix’s sunrise, rejuvenating my recycled defenses Yet, today, these rays just aren’t bright enough to burn sadness away And with these sounds of storm clouds & Fall on horizon’s breath These grounds are so familiar, yet bittersweet This heart doesn’t want to be enlightened by karma today It wants to be held for how it shines now Denied…distance wins again today Slavery whipped punishments in miles and blocks This must end Because I try to keep lines open to get a call from you Yet all I hear are booty calls with busy signals And yet something has kept me here too long But can they leave me, if I’m already gone? Something has kept me here too long Karma’s laughter But, through it all, I will shine … How I wish my mere presence can bring joy’s tear to her eye Sadly though, now, the lines are drawn Yet I wonder if this feeling is gone Have the best parts of this…come and gone? … Maybe I’ll never know the truth Perhaps she was misguided by jealousy’s deprivation Deteriorating heart’s splendor While I fell in “like” with her Perhaps “Better Man 2.0” appeared from Cloud 9’s fallacy While I fell in “like” with her Perhaps She held onto the past As I, drawn to waterfall’s edge Allowed myself To let go…and F A L L © Drake J.
