I Fell In Love and I Can't Get Out

by Lawrence Christopher

It wasn’t like a trip and fall
More like a slip at all
Heart wide open
Eyes closed shut.

Tried to catch myself
Couldn’t rely on anyone else
Attempted to stop
Twisted my heart

Slowly was my decent
For more than a year is how long it went
Didn’t see it
Wish I had

To the bottom of my heart I fell
A place to where I have not often dwell
My first love
And my last

That’s to say that I’ve been here before
Not so bad that I wouldn’t want more
Didn’t want to
Believe or not

Checked my heart for scrapes and bruises
Not to get up from this fall, decides who loses
Fell in love
Can’t get out
