Almost Fall

almost fall
wind in the trees
i hear you coming

the chill of the breeze

on the last warmth of summer
i sit waiting for you
just enjoying the view
closing my eyes
bending my head to feel you

What makes him say her?

you say you will always love me
that i can trust in that
please take a moment
what makes that a fact?

with everything so relative
so many variables on earth
what makes a man look at you
and say above all, it's her?

Blindsided

I asked what i did to deserve 

this man loving me 

but i didn’t ask if it would be worth it 

the day that he would leave 

i thought i knew us both 

even thought i might foresee

the best will come if i think of others

and let go of all the good it did to me 

but nothing prepared me for the emptiness 

and my deep infernal greed 

i was most human most volatile 

when you were at my feet 

when you allowed yourself to be tamed

with the utmost humility 

winning my heart in the most subtle of ways 

and then giving it back to me
