Falling

I fall in love with
Melodies and music
Chirping birds at dawn
With deep blue skies
Or with night lights 
As stars that shone
Brighter than smiles
I ever got to see
Maybe in the name of it all
Moon shall be my company
So moonchild what is it
That you seek after all
In this world so big
And hearts so small
Maybe just maybe
Solitude is my solace
Maybe just maybe
I’m finally loving this pace
That haunted me for years
Is now an eternity I long
Of being away and alone
So no-one hears that song
Playing on the radio
Are the beats of my heart
Tiny twisted tales
Of all those little starts
That were made to
Escape silence and grief
Maybe this is what was needed
Maybe this is true relief
Better than deserted
To opt to be on your own
Maybe this is what they call
To have finally grown
You accept the shadows
Not with spite but open arms
For in giggles and glitter
May not lie all charms
So let me hold onto
Well nothing after all
Let me cut all strings
And end all calls
Sink deeper into silence
Drive further than before
For it may be worth it
With even the feet sore
Let’s chase away ourselves
Until we’ve nothing to hold
Let go of it all we said we needed
Lies we ourselves told
We just needed to learn to
Accept it all without believing
That this could be the worst
Accept stranded as the company
That could quench the thirst
For homes and holy hearts
Let’s setup a new fence
Relax in the very place
That once left us tense
Accept that everything goes
Even if much didn’t come
Be glad you at least were
Able to find some
But now it’s time to
Finally move on
Dance to melancholy
As you see it all gone
Maybe this was it
Losing everything to gain
A lesson or two or infinite
In exchange for a bit of pain
At least next when it happens
When someone leaves you alone
You wouldn’t be surprised
Maybe finally you’d grown
To learn the truth of the world
That it was right to fall for everything
Except people weren’t worth it all
So fall for fiction and nature
Enough it is love, even if small.
