*very randomly and differently set out. see if u understand... sorry if you dont*

i fall
and hit hard
you hold my hand
catching me
but not in time
and its all i can do
to stay intact
just to make you feel
like you've made a difference
like you've helped me
like you've done something
to make me smile

i lie
and get caught up
you are blind
to everything
i am and do
and its all i can take
to watch you
follow me
like I've never lied
like I'm perfect
like somehow after all this
I'm still intact

"When i close my eyes, i remember how to smile, under my umbrella im an accomplished exile..."

Amazing, and "stupendously" written.

I love the way you do this. You write a poem and at the end, you bring it to a conclusion, that has had a special significance in the middle of the poem. Like here, intact. It's your best one in a while, definately.

I don't think I had problems understanding this one.  The terse form in which you've written your lines does help to convey a sense of falling, really.  I suppose the whole poem looks like a cutaway of a narrow shaft down which the speaker is falling.

As for the content, you seem to be describing a symbiotic emotional relationship between two individuals.  One acts as the helpless and the other as the saviour.  The helpless - that being the speaker - is not truly helped in an appropriate manner by the saviour, but he/she puts up a facade such that the saviour is satisfied with his/her role in the relationship.  Is this a correct assessment?

Fractal: Yes, this kind of means that. Not so much in a relationship but someone always smiling or lying or making something up to make someone else feel good. But it makes them feel awful... mmm

Laura,

I love this . . . it made me think
of times when you help someone
even though you have long fallen
yourself.  Also of lying to
someone consistently, knowing you
are lying, knowing that them knowing
this will end all of their happiness,
and yet - you still lie . . .
