Where is it?

My butterfly maker,

Comfort ripper

Flimsy like paper

Forging a smile, a laugh, so chipper.

Where is it?

Beating like iambic pentameter

Enough syllables

To trigger the adrenaline

I need to find it

Stop this cardiac arrest

My hand meets a thick red

There is her heart

I place it in the hollow cavity in my chest

As I hear her skeleton scream

From my closet.
