My demi, I have a side-splitter for you,
It’s not very funny, the weight we carry,
We’re an ensemble, of the same tear,

My bosom, close to my chest, my rib, keeper of my essence,
Piece of my essence, accept my sorry.

It’s tingling, the edges of me, the edges of you,
My sides are splitting, this isn’t very funny.
