And I Fall

Dear heart
He said
You couldn't have known

What was going to happen
All hinged on things you couldn't see

But I was told that death can throw you clear
Of the disaster we call life
Without its weight we could climb that wall
We could jump from its height and never touch the ground

Said the other:
I think that you were lied to
Because when I think of love
My stomach drops
And I fall...
