When We Fell
When we fell, and clumsily
We bruised all our knees
Hiding our tears from the
Sting of defeat
Swelling with doubt until
We couldn’t see—
Our eyes, to fiercely be opened!
When we danced, and fearfully
You tangled yourself
In desperate acceptance
All too often you felt
If you weren’t among them
You’d be better off dealt
To a slave trader in a far-away country
When we laughеd, and so freely
Our minds would agree
On the humor of living—
A satirical dream!
Of course, it’s all vеry different
Since we no longer speak
But it’s easy to live in my memories
