˙⋆ A Girl Who Falls ⋆˙

I've always been the kind of girl

Who falls fast

Who falls hard.

And when it ends,

I act shocked,

But I'm not.

I'm just hurt.

I wish I could fall slow,

Could fall gentle

And careful.

And when I get hurt,

I don't act

When I'm not.

I'm just honest.

I wish I wouldn't fall so fast

For ones who can't catch,

Who can't hold,

Who can't love.

I wish I could fall slow

For ones who are good,

Who are careful,

Who know.

I wish I wouldn't fall at all

For the bad boys,

The reckless boys,

The fictional boys.

I wish I didn't always fall

So damn fast,

So damn hard.

But one day I'll fall fast,

I'll fall hard,

And he won't add to the scars.

One day I'll fall,

Whether gentle or hard,

For the one who is real,

For the one who is mine.
