Falling from the bluff

you called it love

I call it lies

it doesn't take

the wisest eyes

to see the venom

from your touch,

your laugh, your kiss

your rehearsed touch

a pile of rocks

they’ll all fall down

when love comes and

calls your bluff

enough

move on, move forward

go find your peace

your inner longing

trumps my needs

my shoes are not the ones you like

the best I have- just not your kind

I climbed, I stumbled,

I craved your smile

you wouldn’t walk

my heart’s long mile

I hoped and dreamed

of our life ahead

as I slept on your futon

now she sleeps in your bed

love called your bluff

the rocks all tumbled

enough

It wasn't love that you wanted... you just needed a fix
