It's the simple things...

Illegal and forbidden.
You have the face of innocence.
Toxic.
Harmless.
Your poison tastes so sweet.
Filling the crevices of my heart that I never knew were there.
Cementing it together and making me feel whole again.
I take a hit, and I'm breathless.
High for days, or even months.
They do not warn you of these side effects.

I must have swallowed a million caterpillars in my sleep.
They're emerging from their chrysalises in a rainbow of colors.
Butterflies are fluttering in my stomach, overflowing out of my mouth with every word I speak.
Drunken with giggles; I feel like a foolish, young school girl again.


My hands are a puzzle, and I'm looking for their missing pieces.


I do not know much of anything with any certainty, but I know one thing-
You make me happy.
