The Gymnast.
++++++++++

I never knew my
Heart
was A Gymnast
till

it Flip-FloPPeD
across
The Dirt Table

when
she
walked into the
room.

I immediately hated
her,

(and myself for hating
her)

because Beauty
makes
me Powerless
when trapped in
an Angel's
Stare.

+

i won't say
hello.

i won't
say Hello;

because
it opens the door
to
Goodbye!

(and Goodbye
Never
Lets Go.)

+

after half-successfully
taming
The Unruly Gymnast,

I stare across the room
wondering
if she ever looked at me;

(probly not)

and
that Olde Familiar Numb
flows
through me till everything
is

OrdeReD
AgAiN.

Then say Farewell
to
Love I have Forgot!

(hello to Cheap ass
Gin.).....
