"What happens if I disobey?"
"Sissy, you won't like how creative I get with punishment."
"Why are you laughing?"
"What happens if I disobey?"
"Sissy, you won't like how creative I get with punishment."
"A ship's strength is not in its size, but
in its ability to sail against the tides."

Everything is sweet and romantic until she says,
"My date's texting, he's wishing me Happy Valentine's Day."
It stares back at me like a mischievous glow,
pulling on threads I'm too curious not to know.
I hover on courage, half fear, half control,
drawn in by the pull of that mysterious hole.
