Cherried Knees

Falling happens
So fast
Before you
Know it
Your palms
Are scraped
And your knees
Are cherries.
The world
Stopped
For just a
Moment.
When I fell
For you
It happened
So fast.
My heart
Became a
Dripping fruit
Squashed
Beneath your
Feet.
So fast
Before you
Know it
Your palms
Are scraped
And your knees
Are cherries.
The world
Stopped
For just a
Moment.
When I fell
For you
It happened
So fast.
My heart
Became a
Dripping fruit
Squashed
Beneath your
Feet.
