Beautiful, beautiful
the waves of my Atlantic lick the sand.
Big green pool I've invested true love in.

I have bled into that water.
Run naked along the beach, hugged a boy
I thought might love me

but really didn't and never would.
That silly boy hurt me and tore me apart
like the wings of a butterfly.

Bright and vaguely translucent.
Surprising loud
and perfectly quiet

I was a bumblebee's hum.
My mouth made a perfect round O!
A little girlish sound I vowed

to never make again.
The hurt, I vowed to never
ever

feel that hurt again.
So I found a beautiful, beautiful
boy

and took everything from him.
