Shall I Slit the Throat of Thee?
I secretly hate
 butterflies
 so rich and cool,
 drowning in purity
 like a jewel...
 
 I secretly hate
 birds
 so lovely, so bright,
 so courageous
 during their flight
 
 I secretly hate
 diamonds
 so shiny, so neat
 Embraced by the Earth's heat
 
 I secretly hate
 these things
 they...only tools of god,
 here to remind me
 of my imperfections...
 and insecurties...
 to protect them...
 shall I slit the throat of these beauties?
 
 I secretly hope
 these things
 never learn
 of god...
 for their
 fake beauty
 will be destroyed
 in cold realization
 of their marionette syndrome...
 
 Only puppets...
 tools of god...
 
 You...
 Are you beautiful?
 Yes?
 I see...

"In the end, it's still best to wait for the one we want rather than settle for what's available. It's still best to wait for the one you love rather than to settle for the one who's around. It's still best to wait for the right person, because life's too short to waste on the wrong one."
