Butterfly

by goddessofsong   Sep 20, 2005


I watch you alienate yourself
When you used to be the center of everything
Well, not from everyone
Just me
When I am there you are not
You avoid me.
you are the butterfly.
changing so quickly into something...
beautiful,
but different.
Like a many colored butterfly
You fly just out of my reach
You fly on to things you think are better
But who is better?
Who could love you more than me?
O little butterfly
You are still so young,
Though you think you are ready to face the world.
Then let me tell you my last secret
Though I know no more about love than you,
I know I will always love you best.
Farewell butterfly.

    The butterfly didn't seem to be similar in reguards to the person. You may wish to use closer links and/or explain better how they link. The use of metaphors, similes and description could really enhance your ideas. Try to get a similar meter even if you choose not to rhyme, because it might flow better. You had some strong emotions and good ideas. Keep writing and practicing.
    luv kt.
