In the lull


Sitting on the edge
of the bed
the floor
is miles below.

I thought
I FELL
into love.

How did I get
into this dangerous height?

The fall is coming.
We've talked
and said it all
until there are
no tears..
Just the silent
truth
that other people
and things
have come between.

Sitting in the lull
I can see this
and understand
that two people
can love each other
and still
not be able to make things work.

I can see this,
and the fall
and recognize the coming pain.

My god..
You haven't even left yet..
and it's already beginning.
