skydiving

        
my thoughts turn inward  
and I am aware of my heart...
 
so foolishly reckless at times
sky diving with no thought of landing
it seems to have no care for its own happiness
 
easily lured in by some pretty words
it always fails to observe the sharp pointed teeth
of the one sweet talking to it
 
sharp and made to devour you, little girl,
didn't you know by now?
so guard yourself carefully in this land of men
 
your sparkle is what they're after
when you're tarnished and have lost your glow
they'll toss you aside and on to the next distraction
 
treat your man kindly
he's one of a kind  
shaped especially with you in mind
 
souls don't unite everyday
bodies colliding is commonplace
in this world of lust
 
don't trade what's precious for a wink and a smile
above all remember he loves you
be careful after his heart if not for your own
