If you're reading this I'm sure I owe you at least one of these: I'm Sorry. I Forgive You. You Were Right. And most importantly, Thank You. If you've made me smile, you've helped me live.

A slight hook behind the navel,
A swift tug on the gut.
Your knees are weak
your eyes are wild,
you cannot keep them shut.

Eyelash batting,
Hair twirling,
and nervous laughter.
these things hold you back
you cannot help but perform
this freakish circus act.

for afterall it means to you,
it means nothing to him.
the poison hornet-turned butterflies
pack a mighty sting.
