I Fall

I fall

Fall

Fall

Every time someone sweet comes along

You’d think I would learn from my falling

In that you’d be wrong

I try to lock my heart

Keep my excitement down to a minimum

Or gone all together

But I fail

Every time I land I manage to get up

Spackle in the cracks

Sand the exterior down to perfection

And go again

Keeping this unreasonable

Unreliable

Unreachable belief

That I might be loved again

Every ending is the same

Being repeated over and over

Like the song of a nightingale

And I again fall

Fall

Fall
