I Fall<br />
I fall asleep to the romantic fantasies of my mind’s eye,<br />
Knowing that when I wake it will have been for nothing.<br />
I fall into the oblivion of dreams in the darkness,<br />
Smiling in my sleep as peace breaks upon my restless soul.<br />
I fall from the world<br />
Where I don’t feel lost.<br />
I fall into the day’s routine, masking everything from the<br />
night before,<br />
Hoping I won’t falter when something might show that I<br />
am in too deep.<br />
I fall away from the person who lived for tomorrow<br />
To become a being who desires dreams that seem out of<br />
reach.<br />
I fall against solid reason,<br />
Understanding the end is far.<br />
I fall through life not realizing the weeks are passing by<br />
<strong>The</strong>n I think back to find the walls closing in.<br />
I fall into your arms and ignore the past creeping near<br />
Within them I feel that I could be alright.<br />
I fall into this feeling<br />
Hoping not to fall fast.<br />
