"And it's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most, not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes. There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind." - Zac Brown Band

Twist your arm around my back,
As you place your hand upon my head.
I bounce to the beat, slowly up and down.
I was listening: not a single word was said.

I concentrated as you mocked me
And your arm moved casually down
My lower back. I twitched when you
Shuddered without making a sound.

I kept my composure quite coolly
As the raging thunder rolled.
I found that stories are for sinners,
And secrets can’t be sold.
