Fall

When I fall

i don't want you to catch me

i want you to help me up

bevause its easy to prevent an injury with caution and baby I want adventure

unpredictable like a maze with no way out

i want to get lost with you

fall so deep we can't climb up 

no rope will be long enough to pull us to the surface

 but when I hold your hand I want to feel as if we're above it,

as if we were floating on Marijuana and extracy.

i want to be so hurt that it hurts you

i want to share the same scratches on the same places 

and have our lips touching every single one of them like our mothers did on our bruises

I want to know that horrible things are inevitable and forever is too naive

but I know that when I'm sad and broken down you'll help me up, so please don't catch when I fall

i want to be hit with reality so hard that fairy tales untangle themselves.

i want my glass slipper to break into a million pieces and you to recognize my face

i want to be trapped in a tower and escape.

i want to find you along a river.. Waiting for me

 because you know I'll always come

i don't want you to save me

i want you to help me up 

because exauhsted I'll stubble onto rocks and bushes, I'll cry and bleed

just please help me up when I fall

i want to feel the burn on my knees and knots in my throat

like the butterflies clogging up my lungs

out of breath I want to be pulled into our arms as if you were my heaven and I was yours

And I want you to fall from the sky with me

our optimism like a parachute will keep us safe

when we hit the ground baby I'll brush the dust off your shoulder 

the colorful leaves will crumble under us like the walls we once built.

lets enjoy the fall.
