well she would have lived happily ever after but she heard the calling of the birds, you see. She heard the waves, down there, lapping hard and crashing against rocks. she saw the sun rolling down behind the flat edge of the ocean each night and wondered where it went. she wanted to see the colour of the crashing waves. she wanted to smell the ocean spray, feel it in her face... the cliff face started to hold her almost like a prison, him at her front and the cliff face at her back... all she wanted was to fall and fly, follow the sun and feel the spray.

not so happily ever after. breaks your fucking heart, eh?

she fell

off a cliff
into love

far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife

the loving arms of the ocean caught her
and the cliffs dejected face just crumbled

and while rocks hit the ocean from above
she swallowed water
and was carried by the waves
and carried the waves
inside herself

it breaks her heart too. she just wanted to be loved. now she's flying in her head, flying in her heart. maybe one day she'll grow wings and say "fuck 'em all" fall where the wind takes her freefall & fly away fly fly

freefalling could land you in the rocks, mj. fly with tattooed wings.

panta rhei:

rocks falling into the ocean
will never harm it
all they do is raise the sea level
more ocean to carry
more liquid to love
more sea to sail you away
