Bury the butterflies

by Jeanie   Feb 23, 2018


Bury the butterflies.

You gave them life with the first touch.
They multiplied by millions each hour, each minute of each day.

Now I watch you savagely pluck their wings, one by one
Before bashing them to death,
like a sadistic child.

Every horrible death leaving a bigger whole in my stomach.
Its silent now...

The flutters have all gone
All that is left is to burry
Their once beautiful bodies.
Never to be exumed again.

    Jeanie,

    Such a sad read, and an emotional piece about loss
    Much warmth
