the butterfly

Recommended Posts

She tries to fly

But fails again and again

Her beautiful wings

Scarred from the past

And once again she hits the ground

Thud

It is almost noiseless

And no one notices the small one fall

The butterfly is on the ground

Weeping tears of despair

Hopelessness and worthlessness fill her mind

She tries again to fly

But falls

People walk all around her

Not taking notice

Of the beautiful creature struggling

She's struggling to get through every day

And again she wants love

And again she wants to see the blood

Now the butterfly is holding her blade

And slashing up her wings

Scars mended from her dire past

She is barely able to soar anymore

And slowly the wings crumble still

The blood drips to the ground

As she retreats

Marking a trail of where she's been

With no path lying ahead of her

Each day is improvised

As only her love for another

Keeps her alive

And her small heart beating

It stops her body from collapsing

And her wings from breaking down completely

when you'd cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

and I held your hand through all of these years

but you still have 'hold of me

Great work. This was my favorite part:

 

She's struggling to get through every day

And again she wants love

And again she wants to see the blood

Now the butterfly is holding her blade

And slashing up her wings

Scars mended from her dire past

She is barely able to soar anymore

And slowly the wings crumble still

The blood drips to the ground

As she retreats

Marking a trail of where she's been

With no path lying ahead of her

Each day is improvised

As only her love for another

Keeps her alive

 

(I know, that was a big favorite part...)
