    Beautiful. I really like how you wrote this, the comparisons and relations you made between the symbols were wisely written not to mention intriguing while adding a consistency of lovely thought.
    I really liked the lines,
    "yet Butterfly ways show
    touching always harms the wings"
    I really liked the symbols you used to express the meaning behind them in those lines.
    Well done

    Thanks pink, it's about how every few months i need to hibernate emotionally away from people and just be still, without being depressed, and, how hard it is to do that when you live with a girl who loves you and just wants to help.

    I completely know the feeling, Kevin. Wonderfully well-stated.

    And good luck with the situation, by the way. Always caused just a wee bit of stress in my relationships, though it was always easily smoothed over.

    I love this poem alot. Not many people could write something so poignant that is also so short and leaves a firm impression like this.

    yet Butterfly ways show
    touching always harms the wings

    This part got to me, I couldnt really tell you why, but it is so true and I have never seen someone map out the concept so well in a poem- great job, yet again.

    Loves, K
