Learn, Heal , Love Again

that is how to fall in love the first time
when we don’t know for sure how deep we’d fall
and we would know how far we’d need to climb.

some may fall like an embattled enzyme
too beaten and broken to walk or crawl
that is how to fall in love the first time

others may fall like an arrogant clime
harsh, brutal, cold, and they would never call
and we would know how far we’d need to climb.

love’s sweetness could wear the taste of lime
like a constant cup sip of alcohol
that is how to fall in love the first time

but dumb we’ll be to commit such a crime
as to hitting our face against a wall
and we would know how far we’d need to climb.

no wonder love is not flesh in her prime
healing is internal and that is all
that is how to fall in love the first time
and we would know how far we’d need to climb.
