Free Cee a Balloon Falls Too Soon

A BALLOON FALLS TOO SOON The same way a balloon eventually deflates the way it falls fleetingly to the floor the same way some items arrive in damaged crates that's the way a lover sometimes decides to walk out the door one day a balloon is flying high into the sky the way it dances amidst clandestine clouds or the sun that's the way a lover sometimes is forced to say goodbye and has to admit that what was meant to be is finally done when one lover takes that balloon and punctures it with a hole and the air escapes with determined arrogance and hate that's the way escape becomes one lover's ultimate goal and the other learns the meaning of the word “ingrate” it starts with ingratiation Then somehow the other one becomes a prestidigitator It begins with respect and adoration then ends with dirty words not too much later just like a balloon the air runs out and what once floated falls to the ground but I suppose that's what happens when one's ego goes out of control so the balloon can no longer seek freedom found and one of them is responsible for puncturing the hole © 2012.....PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~
