I NEVER KNEW WHAT I WAS AFTER UNTIL AFTER

Then after after passed,
was after last exhale,
was after broken pelvis,
was after fell down stairs,
was after when I woke,
was after fell asleep with you,
was after come inside,
was after fell in love with you
--Did I reverse the two?--
was after found you in the sun,
was after sleeping days,
was after stay up all night writing lies and needs,
was after hating poetry,
was after learn to read,
was after learn to speak,
was after take a step,
was after take a breath.

P.s. this prompt threw me for a loop, Todd. Thx!
