Fell

I fell in love
with the idea of her
the ideal of her

I fell in love
with all I was with her
all I’d be with her

I fell in love
with each laugh from her
each “love you” from her

The idea was false
The ideal was dashed
All I was was wrong
All I’d be was me
The laughter waned
The “love yous” ceased

I fell
I fell short
I fell out
I fell down

Time to get up
