Butterflies

He gives me butterflies in my tummy

I can feel their soft, powdery wings rub up against my stomach lining

They're constructing butterfly houses to live short lives in

They're creating businesses and shops to sell the things they create out of nothing

They're artificially growing food for their families

They're taking dips in my stomach acid like it's a community pool

They're making themselves at home

They don't leave

Because as long as I'm thinking about him

They're here

And I never can seem to get him out of my head
