Follow me...
as I ice skate upon
the blade of a penknife, with
his tainted tongue darting
in and out of my consciousness.

Now I am deaf to him; come, let's write... well... I will write;
this is how it goes...


When he loves me
I feel so full of life, vibrant
with eyes that radiate like fireflies.

When his gnashing jawbones are pursed together...
I know...
I am his object of ridicule
hit "bulls eye" every time,
needled until I cry.

But sadness only utilizes me
If I surrender to it.

I pencil on my lipstick grin taking on
the task of being so witty; so wise.
Oh yes, everybody loves me
aside from the one I love
but I am eloquent, and resilient,

still.

I hear the echoes of his anger
with everyone oblivious... but me.

Butterflies

When I look into your eyes, I realize
I get butterflies.
I'm the one that cries when I realize
perhaps you don't get butterflies.
Do you... get butterflies
when you look into my eyes?
Is it something I just don't realize,
maybe your the one who cries
when you realize
we should be together
to unite our butterflies.
