To fall

You fell hard for me.

The thing is

I rooted for you, 

I stood by you, 

I bet on you,

I hoped for you. 

It's not hard to fall.

You can fall until you're sick of it.

You can lay on the ground as long as you want,

You can embrace the earthly gravity, 

let loose of her whenever you like.

Because it's not hard to fall.

It's an effortless thing.

You fell easily and got up easily

just as easily as you made your farewell.

Meanwhile

 I was still rooted, 

standing, 

betting, 

hoping

for your falling. 

I had to dig deep to let go,

I had to cut you off to break free.

You chose the easy thing to do

Letting yourself fall, 

embracing gravity

as if it required of you

something else than a body

You fell hard effortlessly

You always knew you'd get up easily

 as easily 

and 

as hard 

as 

you 

fell
