I Fall



  I fall short of everything I am meant to be,
   a lover,
   a friend,
   a teacher,
   a nurse,
   a mother...

  Like a slow autumn leaf,
   I glide in the wind and never hit that smooth patch of
   earth I am destined too.

  Shall always be left to linger in that
   slow current of air,
   never succumbing to my fate,
   alway falling short of perfection.

   I speak cruel dark shadow words,
    I cut flesh with razor blades,
    my eyes are not clear and bright with sweet relief.

  Forgive me,
   for the pain I inflict,
   it is not intentional,
  though I know it lingers still even after the wound has
  healed,
  
   Just know that I love you more than life and breath
   and the ground beneath your feet,
   know I would give every last breath to spare your lives,
   know that I am only human,
   but I will try harder that ever....


   Most of all you are my world...
