The Madness of Love

Falling from the Sky

Falling From The Sky

                   Do you know the cruelest words?

                   They hit when you're in your zenith,

                   When life is a shining sun

                   Over the silkiness of a skin-soft rose.

                   When every breath draws in

                   The scent of carnations,

                   When your heart awakens you

                   To morning song and smiles,

                   And when the miracle of you

                   Becomes a thing of wonder,

                   And you believe,

                   For the first time,

                   That love and unbounded joy

                   Are possible,

                   And then, you hear the words,

                   "Let's just be friends."
