"If you love something, let it go."
Well, farewell my butterfly.
I'll kiss you goodbye.
Spread your wings my love.
I'm sorry.
I never meant
to hurt you like so.
Why didn't you tell me?
That I forgot to put holes
Meant to let you breath.
Or that you never liked,
Being a captive in my jar
And being trapped in my heart
I'm left to wonder
Why you chose to stay
For so long, so very long
(though it seemed just a minute)
Did you fall for
The way you saw me,
Through the plastic cover.
Did you fall for
The way I sang to you
And imagined you sang along.
Maybe you never fell.
Not for me, not in love,
After all, you have wings.
Maybe you only stayed
Because I made sure
You couldn't leave.
Better late, then never.
I want to give you the sky,
Fly on to the next jar, my love.
And I'll try to forget,
The butterflies you left
In my stomach.

Euphoria & Woe
PoetrySometimes our beasts can't be caged up inside. Sometimes I let my demons dance free among the words that I give to you, my love. Forever for you. (I stole the pictures, that stole my heart.)
