When it Hits You

Poems

Everyone falls.

At one point in all our lives

we experience a betrayal,

pain unlike anything posssibly imagined,

sometimes more than once.

However no one ever forgets the worst of them all,

That one time where we fall so far

that it seems impossible to ever get up again.

But we cling on, we seek the light 

regardless of whether it will save us

or damn us further.

And so we change, so as to never again

feel the same pain we turn on who we are.

For we would rather watch the world burn

then to be tossed like that again.

The only cure is from a heart so pure,

that it would shatter the darkness and ask us,

"Why did you fall?"

Because you stood by someone who

didn't stand by you.

So it's time to find someone who would.
