Love Poem: Ultimatum

Ultimatum

The rebel is brave
And will conquer any fear
He crawls close to his grave
He brings it near
Then jumps back with a laugh
And blinks a lonely tear
He lights a smoke 
And inhales life
But exhales death
In every breath
He lives everyday like it’s his last
No cares for the future
No remembrance of the past
The rebel has his good times
Spent mostly with the boys
But there is one
That stands above the rest
The one that gives him meaning
And puts a beat in his chest
He receives the decision
Grow up or die
He feels his heart curl
And a tear falls from his eye
The rebel dies
For the love of the girl
