Like a Butterfly

by *Charisma*   Sep 21, 2007


You watched me as if a beautiful butterfly
Nervous under your constant stare
But intrigued enough to linger a while
On the petals of your words.
Then...when you had me close enough
To your powdered nectar center
You grabbed me by the wings, leaving me nowhere
Nowhere at all to run to.
And you know how a butterfly flies
after their wings have been touched.
Yes...just like a wounded butterfly
You've left me completely broken,
Stripped of any beauty I had.
My only question left is,
Can butterfly wings heal?

    Wow.
    I really wonder if they can, or if that butterfly is stuck like that forever.
    Anywho back to the poem. LOL.
    I loved it, dear. It was a bit emotionless, BUT it wasn't at the same time. It was like it was only skin deep, but you could see all the way through.
    Which is what made me love it so much.

    Amazing job, and great idea with it. (:
    Keep it up honey.
