Still I fall

I saw you,
Saw you again,
And then my eyes
never left you.
I thought of you,
Thought of you again,
And you never ever
Left my mind since.
You are like a disease
That will be the end of me
And I know
That it’s too late,
Like the moment you’ve realized
You’ve swum too far out
In the ocean
Like running over the edge of a knife
To see if it will hurt
But still I fall.
My breath is dwindling,
The last thread from the woof
Of my body
And still I fall.
Because even if you’re what kills me
You are also
What cures me.
