The first butterfly

Once, you said "I love you",

And that is how I started to

Belive that I can love and gain and not love and lose; that I can love you.

The dream of love lit up again

And I could feel again; I could feel like all the men.

To feel was wonderful indeed,

But I was not sure that it was what I need.

I might have needed to learn to fly,

Before to start living and again to die.

I wanted to be brave,

I wanted to have the courage for what I deeply craved;

So, I took the fall,

Hoping not to end up stuck behind a stone-hard wall.

Green and blue eyes with dark brown curls on white pale skin

Let me in,

Got me under their spell

And kept me loved and locked up well.

I was your lock and you were my key,

But then, you lost your sight and start losing me.

I loved you and you loved me for a little while,

But then you got bored of me and stepped away one mile;

One mile that I could not run,

One mile away with your new sun..

And suddenly I was the lonely moon

Which wanted to see you so soon.

The wish grew great pain in my heart

And then again I wanted to tear my soul apart.

I was one and only on the dark sky,

One and only, wishing to die.

I cried,

Hundreds of deaths I lived inside,

All for the man that made me love again,

Saying that love in the soul was only a gain.

I lost everything I had

And not even for being bad,

I lost everything I had

For the star about I was so mad.

My madness made me stronger

Just to die my life a little bit longer.

One dark night I realized,

Something that woke up my mind but left my soul paralyzed;

I would have painted the sky blue,

If you wanted me to,

I would have painted the sky red,

If only one word about this you'd have said,

But I would have never torn it apart

Like you did with my heart.
