Come Crashing Down

Don't know if slowly has ever been my way ---
love's always tended to smack me in the head
and I fall on my face...
sometimes to get up, and others . . .
I stay there, beneath feet that wipe their souls on me.
Laughing,
until like an old carpet I’m worn out –
of no use anymore,
something to be thrown away.
And today’s no different –
I dropped my heart when she smiled,
fell on my face again,
and will lay there
just so she can wipe her soul on me,
while I fool myself into thinking it’s really me
for whom she cares.
I’ve never slowly fallen – just always
come crashing down.

Dear Jim (and this is not a Dear John note), if your words be true and not simply poetry (albeit emotively scribed) then I am wrapping you in love and saying, "It's her loss!"

"and will lay there
just so she can wipe her soul on me,"

~ "soul" ~ so sad, yet cleverly put.

Loving hug,
Linda
