Too Fallen.
June 26, 2009
And in just two years,
She lives a coming-of-age tale,
Growing up so quickly only to meet
Failure
Face to face
And to
Run hopelessly from Disillusion,
Who still managed to steal her dreams away.
Yet,
With cosmo in hand and a stripped down beauty no one can deny,
She finds ways to fill the gaps in this chapter with adventures -
Formerly empty pages now plastered with photos of vibrant faces
On the beach, on the bus, at the club, at the park.
Final destination?
She flirts with the possibility of New York,
Anywhere but here.
But it’s been so long
That she’s grown afraid -
While laughing at love in bold defiance,
She tightens these bandages that cover the wounds which never seem to heal.
So open and honest she seems,
But permission to get close is always denied.
She worries:
Please don’t get too attached,
Too vulnerable,
Too fallen.
