body betraying me,
one simple miscalculation of gravity
has always brought
this body
crashing
to
the
ground.
never letting my love for you slip out,
i tiptoe around us delicately
push/ pull back/ pretend
like i don’t care pretend like this is a seat
at the bus station a temporary reprieve
not what we have chosen
for ourselves
forever fearing the eventual misstep
i’m
falling
falling
falling
crashing to the ground
