The Diary of the Butterfly

Dear Diary

Dear Diary

Dear diary how have you been?

Did you miss me?

Or were you just lonely?

Don't think that I hate you,

But I hope our time apart was torture,

I hope you felt useless,

I hope you felt unwanted,

I'd be happy if you told me you wanted to rip all your pages out,

Because you felt as if they were ugly and disgusting and that's why I didn't write in you anymore.

And you know what would make my day?

If you told me you wished you had never been made.

Tears of joy would greet my eyes,

If you told me that you were surprised when I took you up and blew away the dust and lint that sat on your covers,

Turned your pages,

Holding a pen loaded with ink,

And started to write in you again.

Dear diary do not be ashamed if you felt this way,

Because if you did, this time when I write in you,

You will not only see but feel and understand my pain and everything I go through.
