common curse

i forget

how easily. 

this happens,

this limp.

self pity doesn't look good on anyone,

but it's my prettiest dress.

i didn't hear the knock.
holding my hands up to my ears.
the old friend came in anyway,
uninvited.
i thought i boarded up all the windows,
that i was prepared.

told me he was different.
how he had changed.

i look him in the face,
i see
what he has done.


i am not a saint.

he is no friend.

i wonder if falling in love is like falling into depression.

it just happens.
quick and slow. 

foreshadowing and unexpected. 

i wonder what the difference is.
