Poem: "Let It Fall"

"Let It Fall"

Fragile
like broken glass
shattered but somehow
still my heart beats

In the aftermath
of our inevitable parting
the pain cuts like a knife
forcing me to my knees

I could try to forget
what you do to me
baby
the lure your beauty
has over me

The temptation
too much
no matter where you are
my walls come down

I'm naked and vulnerable

But the room is empty
you're gone now
the bed we shared
is cold and lifeless

The rain hits the window
my fingertips trace outlines
against it silently
longing, waiting, hoping

I feel tears
run down my face
as I close my eyes
and imagine you with me
here and now

Let it fall
oh how I love you still
let it fall

Let it all fall down on me.
