Insane Butterfly

by TAinted vįŕťues   May 27, 2005


Butterflies float in my head
Jagged wings, bleeding rainbow
Breakfast with cheese spread
Butterflies, Cheese Spread and Elbows
Insane
Pain
Jigsaw pieces scattered on the floor
Spilled tea flows up my my nostril
Smash me against the wall, implore
Bullets in my eyes, please hold still
Demented
Dented
Strangle me with guitar strings
Look for the right chord
My coronach, will you sing for me
Will you pin the butterfly on the board
Torment
Vent
Cage me, Kill me, Die
Can you do it?
Who\'s Insane? Me? Lie
Can you do it?
Insane
Slain...

    Well it has certainly been a while-about four months I think since you last submitted, glad to see you have.

    I really admired it. Not my favorite compared to your previous, but nevertheless well written. I loved this line,
    "Jagged wings, bleeding rainbow"
    the contrasting beauty fits so well into your symbolism it captivates the reader in a deep poetic stance and sets the beginning for the correct tone proceeding the rest of the piece.
    I also enjoyed these lines,
    "Strangle me with guitar strings
    Look for the right chord
    My coronach, will you sing for me
    Will you pin the butterfly on the board"
    Again, I love your symbolism and how you elaborate off of one meaning to intertwine with the next.
    Well done
