Knowing

Just when I get
back on my feet
you pass on by
and I lose my footing
Again
 
Each time I fall
I fall farther
and harder than before
and take longer
standing back up
 
And I question so desperately
if I make your knees
as weak as you make mine
to no avail
And that is only
half the battle

(2013)
