Butterfly eyes
Watch my life from the inside
Catching glimpses of my world
Through my open mouth and open ears
They rest in my stomach
Fluttering to life whenever he comes by
So I smile
And cut their wings to stumps
Laughing as each on squirms it's way through my chest
And out my lashes
Tingling the strangest of places
It makes me twitch this way and that way
Planning for the next day
What to wear
Where to go
What to say
But every night
As a lay in cool rain and large t-shirts
Their wings regrow
They do forevermore
And it hurts my veins
Because I shouldn't feel this way
But I will
But I do
And I did
