You can’t tame the wild girl,
not when her soul is the very fire your veins;
why would you want to put out the spark that lit you up to begin with?
You can’t tame the wild girl,
who’s recklessness lives inside her flesh;
you fell in love for everything that she is,
so, you can’t tame the wild girl, and you won’t.
You see, she will throw daggers of fire into crowds of innocent people,
will dance when the music is on low,
and God, she will love you fearlessly,
and endlessly, if you promise to never let her burn to smoke.
She will give you her hands,
all blistered and burnt, and will sing you sweet lullabies -
will take you back to the time when you were no worries and skinned knees,
when the world spoon fed you with broken promises and forevers…
She, is the only thing you will know to not be a lie -
She, is the wild girl, who will never let you believe in fiction.
I know, you were never the type to believe in fairytales,
so she will not be the one to write it.
Her truth, lies in the fact that she has no secrets,
drinks whiskey from the bottle most nights than not,
but kisses you, after every shot, so you can taste it.
Her passion, will seep from her pores like tomorrow may never come,
and you can’t tame the wild girl,
not when her scent covers you in purity,
like she’s never loved before the day she met you.
On some days, you may hate the mess she wakes as,
might meet a day where you roll your eyes instead of kiss her,
but I promise you, she is the realest thing you’ll have,
and the one thing you’ll never get to own -
that’s a good thing.
Let her roll onto your side of the bed, on the nights you can’t sleep,
when she sloppily rests her arm on your stomach, stay.
You can’t tame the wild girl,
but she will give you poorly constructed pieces that make sense,
maybe only to her, but take them, and know it’s enough.
Don’t you ever try to change her,
Don’t you ever try to tame her.
She’ll forever be yours, for as long as you love her,
the wild girl.
