Love you little butterfly

by Krysten   Feb 9, 2006


I know you didn't mean it
Its not something you planned to do
even so i feel
as though my hearts been ripped in two

you took half of it with you
and left me with the rest
all i can do is cope
and try my very best...

...to never ever forget you
and live through each day
to learn not to cry
and smile when i say...

...he loved me wholly
and thought of me all the time
love like ours
was all but a dozen a dime

the pain will fade
of that i am sure
yet until then
for my heartache there is no cure

somehow I'll pull through this
and live my life to the end
I'll think of you everyday
and whisper I love you now and then

I know that you will hear me
because you wont be far at all
you'll be right here in my heart
and your spirit will come when i call

I'll love you forever
for always and more
and in time i hope
my heart will become less sore

I'll see you in the next life
somewhere; someday
I'll hold you in my arms
kiss you softly and say...

...we'll be together now
we'll never say goodbye
i love you my darling
love you little butterfly.

~In loving memory of John Andrew Cramer 1984-2005~

~you will always be in my heart and none will ever be able to replace the love you and i shared.~

    I really enjoyed this piece, for the love and heart you poured into it. The rhythm was spot on and the word choice was stunning. The first stanza was my favorite. Though the entire piece was stunning. As others have said the metaphor of the butterfly is something I loved as well. The word choice was phenomenal.

    Excellent job :)

    That's a very beautiful and sweet poem. I love the metaphor of "I love you my butterfly". The first and last stanzas were my favourites. It didn't rhyme but still worked really well which is always good, some people find it hard not to rhyme but to still make it sound good. It had really good rythm to it. Well done, 5/5

    Because it's a remeberence poem it's going to make it difficult for me to be honest. But then again you knew what you were letting yourself in for when you answered my post.

    It was touching yes, but this subject more often than not is. The line lengths and meters were inconsistent, although the fluency in my reading of the poem was hardly ever hindered, so well done for that.
    Punctuation wise it could be better. In places you've forgotten to use apostrophes and the word "I" should be capitalised at all times to be gramatically correct...
    I'm not keen on rhyme personally, so it won't be a suprise if I say I found this predictable.
    It was an ok poem. It served its purpose of being a very touching poem to express loss and rememberence. But on a poetic level it was only ok.
    Thanks for sharing though.
