Her bony arms grip around my legs
Clutching on for her life...

Hello my lovely heart,
For I know you are not okay...

Butterflies pervade my stomach
tickling my flesh...

My love for you remains a secret
a secret I am forbidden to share...

Welcome to the masquerade
Be prepared for utter lies...

My dearest Chad,
This poem is not for you...

Hey there, you
you silly little boy...

It was in the second grade
she saw you sitting there...

Silly little girl,
With hopes so high...
