Hopeless Romantic

When I am struck
I fall down
When I hear the confounding
Four letter word
I have questions
Not as a skeptic
But as a seeker of
Answers
I am on the ground
A wide open space
Where the time
Is shorter than the
Heartbeat
And dropping away
Is what I feel myself 
Doing
Is there hope?
Are songs lies?
I do not know
I can only ask
What can I do
