Forever Falling

i let you in
and in you came
crawled deep inside
and curled up
under caverns and in shadows
and settled there
won't budge
or depart
merciless mocking my heart
you etched your name deep within
and it can't be removed or even faded
my love for you
streaking across my mind like falling stars in a night sky
forever falling into an abyss that grows deeper
stretching to infinity
beyond all reason or imagination
forever falling into memories and wishful thinking
and you left me
but didn't
and won't
and can't
you planted your roots deep
choking out hope for anything beyond you and me
and all i see when i look down into my garden is the budding flowers of my love
and the stranglehold of weeds that have grown there
cutting off my love and soul
leaving me desolate and broken
i cannot remove you
remove myself from this destruction
i hold myself there
surrounded by regret and pain
and cradle it to me
