think 
I
speak 
and 
can't 
stop 
it's 
painful 
noisy 
and 
under 
my 
skin

stood
smelling 
the 
trees 
and 

thought 
how 
they 
didn't 
smell 
like 
the 
trees 
at 
home.

listened 
to 
his 
voice 
sing 
Willie 
tunes. 

never 
noticed 
the 
wind.

the 
trees 
swayed 
with 
the 
howling 
wind 
even 
when 
the 
wind 
wasn't 
howling
the 
petals 
blew 
around 
me 
like 

storm 
and 

couldn't 
see 
his 
face

told 
him 

needed 
him 
more 
and 
he 
told 
me 
he 
needed 
me 
less.

my 
heart 
was 
breaking 
in 
love 
when 
he 
told 
me
he'd 
been 
in 
love 
for 
months
I've 
got 

hero.
He's 
fast
and 
he's 
strong,
he's 
always
fresh 
from 
the 
fight.

Everything 
in 
the 
universe 
has 

rhythm, 
everything 
dances.

don't 
want 
to 
tell 
you 
how 

feel 

just 
want 
you 
to 
feel 
it 
too

the 
caballero
moved 
me 
and 

felt 
taken 
back 
somewhere 
I'd 
never 
been 
and 
my
stepsister
ran 
away 
with 
carnies 
and 
sometimes 
peed 
her 
pants
how 
when 
the 
sun's
out 
the 
houses 
look 
bright
when 
it 
rains 
they 
look 
drab 
cold

when 
every 
song 
on 
the 
radio 
sang 
of 
love 
and 
taught 
me 
about 
it 

wrote 
until 
my 
hand 
hurt 

wrote 
until 
my 
pen 
went 
dry 

wrote 

wore

scarf 
and 
sat 
at 
the 
desk 

was 

really 
real 
writer

her
heart
was
heavier
than
most
days
and 
the 
rain 
wasn't 
helping 
much
her 
earrings
felt 
heavy
and 
her
skirt
was
tangled
she 
felt
very 
old

as 

passed
each
pretty
house

got 
greener
and 
greener
with 
envy
