“Sorry...it’s just that i’ve fallen in love for the millionth time...”

she reached up towards the sky,

pulled constellations down

and put them in her eyes.

they are her disguise;

she uses them to cover up her lies,

to keep people from asking why.

why she's always staring out

into the distance,

why she's so eager to fly.

it's not because she's conservative

or shy,

or because she's afraid to try:

it's because she doesn't know

if she'll survive

another let down or heartbreak,

because the last guy

she let in

said goodbye.
