Fallen for you
By Linda M. Crate


every time I renounce love and
send her packing, she seems to
flit back into my life; winking at
me coquettishly, I try to ignore
her gaze, but she stabs me with
another of cupid’s arrows and
I find myself positively giddy,
and rather ridiculously silly for
I like a guy and he may or may
not like me back, but this time
I think she had my eyes gazing
upon just the right person for I
have never fell so hard for any
as I have fallen so hard for you.
