when i fall in love
i do so secretly and from afar
the love suddenly blossoms and eventually dies
right in the center of the sunlessness of my heart
i’m left like a deflated balloon
descending from a sky of lively hot air balloons
like a withered flower
amongst a garden of thriving flowers
like a bird with broken wings
watching all the birds roaming freely in the sky
until a new love arrives
and i blossom again
only to wither and die in silence once more
