fortyfive

her mother always said to look both ways
she never mentioned an aerial attack

fallen, they call it
fall in love
fall, something she's good at
in, like it was a pool or something
love, this was where they lose her

she runs from everything
she ruins everything
destructive since day one
oh what a rebel she is.

but now she's stuck
gone soft for....for him.

she's terrified to jump
but she's closing her eyes and
taking his hand

much unlike herself
oh what a rebel she is.
