how could i forget
your wings of intricate design
glowing specs of amber
like the sunshine of July
your golden energy always wowed me
it had made me realise
that my sorrow-stained petals were healing
previously deteriorating in disguise
my presence was finally noticed
for the very first time ?
this butterfly...is a blessing
sent into this small field of mine
a once isolated daffodil's soul
learnt how it's like to be loved
oh such an ethereal bond !
can't be missed by the sun above
my effulgent love for you was so rich
that i gave you all the sweet blood i could supply
and when i ran out and fell dry
i was struck by an unexpected goodbye
isn't it so foolish of me to think
that only our bond was divine ?
when you shared that golden energy with every daffodil
then oh butterfly, who am i in your life ?
while you were my deeply beloved
yours were the flowers all the other butterflies liked
then why am I wasting my energy, love and care for you
why am I constantly consoling myself with a lie ?
a lie that whispers to me that you would die for me
just as much as I would die for you
a lie which is the sole thing holding my fragile petals in place
a lie i hopelessly wished was true
you were the betraying butterfly
and I was your one time rodeo
oh silly naive me, i should have known
that you'd use me and leave me at my low
and now i stand here frail & feeble
with the soil patiently waiting for me to die
before i wither away, you should know
this poem isn't about a daffodil nor a butterfly
