The lonely little girl in me / Wants to hug the scared little boy in you / Until you stop being scared and I stop being lonely.

It's like missing something you've never had.
My sister loved sunflowers. / Anything worth loving in me died in a ditch behind a trailer park in northern Wisconsin. I’ve never been one much for talking. But I think I’d like to say something. I am all nerve endings. Don’t touch me. Don’t look at me. How dare you look at me? Keep your money, I come here to be lonely and broke. That is the whole point of me, you know. I’m like some sort of plot device the author chose to show how lost the human soul can be. I’m supposed to die horribly to teach you that life is short and beautiful or some ******** like that. / My niece liked pie. Not just any pie.

Who are these creatures? / Why do they burn so red? / I fear their nature.
