you are my sweetest downfall, i loved you first.

you leave me bruised and battered,
weak in the knees and shaking.
you were my sweetest downfall, and i did love you first.
but that love grew thin, and wore bare.
who cares? not you, my love, who once opened my eyes to the possibilities and gave me the ears to hear the wondrous world.
but no more, you are gone, you don't talk, you don't breath, just gone, like a faint and distant memory,
may you lie softly and sigh once more,

because whilst you may be alive to others, 
you are not to me.


you are my sweetest downfall, i loved you first...
