people change everyday
so i vow to fall in love with you
every time the sun rises

a Butterfly is fragile
but her battles have been unique
- to get her wings
she first had to die.
When you look at me, what do you see?
I see a transparent body, outlined by bold black
ink, a distant reflection of me


You see nothing, yet you see me?
I see nothing but those behind you and those walking through
your outline, yet I see who you should be


If I were to disappear, what would you do?
I do not know considering, you are not there.
You are like air


If I am like air, can you feel me brush against your skin?
You are not as strong as the wind; you are like the air I breathe in

Why are you the only one who hears me?
I hear you because I am the mirror of your outline, I respond by showing you the truth of what you only choose to see

How do I fill myself in? Become visible and whole?
You find your true colors and escape into your soul
