Crestfallen
She reached the giddy heights
Soaring like the birds
Her heart racing, pushing her there
At the sound of his loving words
Head over heels
Heartbeats out of whack
What is this drug she is on
Bouncing like a jumping jack
Where did he come from
Crashing into her world
Spinning her out of control
Forcing her wings unfurled
He freed her from her prison
Of dark thoughts and neglect
Come fly with me he said
And she did not object
Together they traveled
To places faraway
Never leaving each other’s side
Promising to always stay
They clung together like glue
But his eyes began to wander
His attention scattered
She had reason to ponder
I’m tired of you
He eventually said
Crestfallen she answered
You are such a dick head
