I was walking in the park

A beautiful day but still clenching my teeth

A beautiful park filled with too many beautiful butterflies 

My jaw hurt as I looked at a lesser man

I blinked real slow and walked towards the shade

I couldn’t find a focus

There you where in the middle of the park

In the middle of the park surrounded by so much sun and butterflies 

Grinning just to show me your perfect teeth

I walked towards you stepping out of the shade

I walked towards you with a focus

Inside this beautiful park was a beautiful man

We could only see each other in the park

We would sit for hours and he would let me touch his teeth 

You were my only focus 

You were my only beautiful man

I cared about you too much to notice the disappearing butterflies 

But you didn’t care about my sun only my shade

Winter came slow and so did the shade 

It dimmed all the colors in our park

And left yellow and grey stains on your teeth

You pursed your lips so I couldn’t focus

I tried looking around for any of those beautiful butterflies 

But I was left alone with this man

For a while neither of us went to our park

What was the point when everywhere we went was only shade

Anyway, there were too many dead butterflies 

I wanted to pluck out your teeth

They were decaying in the mouth of this man

But at least they could hold my focus

I was shaking when we returned to the park

I leaned in to kiss my only beautiful man

His mouth was filled with the legs of my butterflies

He didn’t talk as black oil dribbled off his lips and seeped into his teeth

You stood over me as I laid down to shake in your shade

Desperately trying to lose my focus
