Buggy

Inside this husk,

Is a putrid jubilee;

Of maggots and worms, 

And other crawly things.

I am a home of bugs you see,

How wretchedly disgusting.

I am not proud of who,

Or rather, what I am.

I mean who possibly could be, 

When you’re more meat than man?

But somehow, 

Miraculously,

A woman saw something, different, in me.

Is she oblivious?

Downright dumb?

Whatever the matter,

To her I succumb.

The sweetness of her heart,

The look in her eyes,

Though I do not know her

I know she must be mine.

I have this new found confidence,

Yet the truth of myself persists;

I cannot let her hazel eyes gaze upon,

This existence gone wrong.

I have a spider in my heart,

I have beetles on the brain;

I have eggs in my earlobes,

I am a body down the drain. 

Yet she smiled,

Yes, she smiled,

Oh what bliss it was to receive!

If only she knew she was wasting it,

On a bug brawl like me.
