The Butterfly Effect

The Butterfly Effect


My stomach’s sucking monarchs out of the air,
It traps them, and binds them and drowns them- they’re scared

Tremors in my stomach- they open, erupt
The cracks and the ulcers spell out inept

It’s shaking and writhing, the monarchs are stuck
They’re slamming the walls, they’re screaming, they’re fucked.

My eyesight destroys them, maims them, they’re dead
Along with the thoughts and worries in head

My stomach reached stasis, my heart did too,
But you’ll still never know my feelings for you.
