do not tempt me

with thoughts of 

new york city

for i've always

been known as

a flight risk

don't tell me

there's life

in the sparkles

don't tell me

there's a way

out of here

all i've ever 

known is this

one horse town

but how many

hearts would i

truly break if i

suddenly decided

to leave it all

behind me?

perhaps it

would be 

my own
