Muted Monarchs'

At the very least I can say that I broke my heart open revealing to you the real me

A sight most people will never see

The panicked fear of love

My heart never raced more than when my honesty made your smile sing like a million monarch wings

So soft..
The color of a warm sunset on my face

I knew in those moments I would never be cold again

Never afraid again

Nothing is eternal though

I can't hear the monarchs' anymore.
