Sonnet 14: Grin On My Face Wouldn't Go Away

The grin on my face wouldn't go away

I had to ask a friend it that was sane

her eyes drowning in tears, my lips danced a ballet

I caught myself trying in vain



My teeth fought to see the light of the night

What price did we have to pay

to know what it feels like to be right?

hurting bad, my breath abates

I tried fucking hard, this wasn't just



The grin undulates into a grimace

and I just wanna escape in a pinnace
