A Knot At The End Of The Rope, To Save A Slipping Fist

Think of me when you collect Buffalo nickels and Kansas Quarters. Heart the way Buffalo were endangered. Heart the way they made a comeback. Roam the earth in plenty like they do.

Away from you I'm just a smile connected to a pulse, barely connected at that. I don't want to sleep alone anymore.

You always have me humming in my head just out of key. If this is the Nightmare Before Christmas, I am Jack (I'll weave a path of mistakes, with the best intentions.) You can be Sally (since you never seem to give up on me.) We'll be the first and only to get things right.

Currently putting on more weight so there will be more of me to lose.

I feel like a nocturnal animal in the zoo at 12 noon. Me turning away from them so they don't see my eyes when I'm walking out the door... When I'm waving my hand back and forth and saying "I'm doing so-so" cause thats what I think someone "regular" would say.

Them saying "it wasn't the same without you"- but trailing off in a whisper because they don't even believe it themselves. The volume goes with the truth.

Compliments of Jenny at Animal Kingdom, I'm leaving you with a Fact Of The Day: Many tropical flowers depend on bats for their pollination. Hearts for Bats.
