2. just a boy
at the end of the day you were just a boy
trying to get a woman to love him
that’s how it works.
boys end up falling for women all the time
because the thing a boy desires more than a girl,
is a woman
but women can never love a boy
women only fall in love with men
that’s the balancing act.
girls turn into women at first break
our girlie hearts die then beat again
the second time, to our own rhythm
that’s what makes you grown
boys don’t like to take risks
they think it’s better to be winning
than
to
just
be
loving
they lose the war atomically
but brag about battles their hearts kept beating for
until
the
earth
disintegrates
beneath
their
toes
don’t they know
no one needs a heart when we die
trying to get a woman to love him
that’s how it works.
