i saw myself fall in love with you.

i fell off the moon.
when the alabaster orb
began to spin
it slipped beneath my feet.
[i stupidly lost my balance.]

i tried to cling to the stars,
but their cold fire
blistered my skin.
still they twinkled, unfazed.
[they were the colors of your eyes.]

i grasped at the clouds,
but i caught dust between my fingers.
when i looked to the ground,
there was no one there to catch me.
[my heart smashed first.]
what made me think you could catch me any better than the clouds?

*sigh*
horrible.
awful.
i wish it was better, but hey, you don't always get what you want.
