I feel safest with the fallen
Everyone falls
No one is good
I am afraid
Of the people who
pretend to be good
the fallen
don’t pretend
We fell down down down
like an eternity
like it would never end
We were bad
depressed drunk addicted
liars cowards thieves
We held our arms out
There was nothing to stop us
Free fall
All we could do
was pray
We prayed
As best we could
With all our hearts
If we had no words
Falling angels
Caught us
Helped us
Claw our way back
Some people fall
Are still falling
Fall forever
Are they crazy
Or do they choose
To stay with the angels?
The people who say
They are good
We look at them
We know they haven’t fallen
They are lying to us
They are lying to themselves
They are lying to the Beloved
They want to be good
They want what they say to be true
But it isn’t
I meet the eyes of another fallen
Knowledge
I can see the memory
Of infinite free fall
In their eyes.
