I think this poem paints an incredibly morbid image of a romantic relationship in which love is only travelling one way. The running metaphor of rising together (as new love springs into life) and falling straight back down, perhaps unbeknown to the love giver in this scenario, is a great way of showing the urgency and desperation in the persona/narrator's mind (the one receiving love), that he/she just can't go on pretending to love past a certain point. I may be completely wrong with the idea behind it, but that's how I felt it. I love the "broken my trust upon landing" part, a great ending to a good poem, as hard hitting as the subject at hand.
