The Butterfly Method

the butterfly method

only makes it worse

their name on my skin

ghosts of what could've been

and the washed out ink

fading, fading, in time

making me think

that I could fade

just like that  

into oblivion

I would go

or at least that

is what I imagine  

swift

quick

my butterfly is dead

a ragged scar through the name

that couldn't save my soul

no thoughts no blame

I was completely in control
