Quickly

So fast,
too fast to be seen.
You trip-
I fall,
and I am lost in your eyes.
As deep as anything,
the richest brown..
How can I not?
Clumsy, very clumsy indeed
is the love we have.
But all the more endearing
because it is human.
Something I have not been for far too long
Too many trite words,
whispering of shadows and tears.
I think it's time to smile again.
If not for me,
then for you.
If my wounds were to cause you pain.
I could not bear it.
So it is..
How quickly the mighty can fall
