Not Supposed To Be

I can't remember the speedy fall,
Or the pain when the hook took it's bite.
I can't remember something so wrong,
That had ever seemed so right.

Murphy's law or destiny.
The song remains the same.
You have to loose, to learn to win,
It's all a part of the game.

I asked you, if you'd pinch me,
And now of course I see.
The reason I thought I was dreaming,
Was because It's not supposed to be!

I can't remember the speedy fall,
Or the pain when the hook took it's bite.
I can't remember something so wrong,
That ever seemed so right!

Just came back for a second dose... hope you don't mind. :-)

Long lost love, star crossed lovers, irony, agony.... ah, perfect fodder for such beautiful prose. And the reason I say this? Because I know... I use that muse too. I like the flow of this, the theme, the pulling at my heartstrings. Thank you, Anthony, for you NEVER dissapoint your readers and though I'm not here as often as I'd like, you all are on my mind much more than I'm able to be here in person!

I liked the theme and the message that, for me, the other side of success (at anything) is failure-- that, in a dualistic world, something is always defined or implied by its oppsite. Maybe the experience of being alive is what gives one the motivation to go on, regardless of outcome or how we should judge that experience.
The tight and symmetric form, and the repeating of a couple of lines at the end, really lend itself well to this interpretation as well: that the joy is in going around again; it's what we do.

Hi, this is great. There is a lot of truth in it. I think we all need to fall sometimes in order to understand the fall of other, that we may be able to help each other to rise once more.

Anthony: This is a wonderful piece with great depth and interesting irony. It is compelling and structured very well.

THis reminded me of a Linkin Park song:
"I tried so hard
and got so far
in the end
it doesn't even matter.
I had to fall
to lose it all
in the end
it doesn't even matter."

This is a good write! I think we all have our times like this, where it seems things are going so good, and then the bottom drops out
