People fall so easily with me Tripping on the ease Stumbling on the words Letting gravity pull them down, down, down Into my arms Open Always open Hoping Waiting Longing And the Fallen So thankful for the catch They remain They steal the warmth from my skin Suck the words from my tongue Take the gifts of my hips And for a while I believe it is love And maybe it is Maybe it was But I do not love by grasping Entrapping And so they go Leaving as easily as they came I do not fold my arms to force their stay Years of falling and catching Coming and going Loving and losing My arms remain open Always open Because someday I will know When he chooses to stay |
