If I could, I'd love you forever
If I did, you'd run away always

So
I've chained my butterflies
Cut out my heart's tongue
Blinded my mind's eyes

But
If I could, I'd curl next to you always
Yet
If I did, you'd steal me forever

I feel nothing when you talk to me.
I've cut you out of my heart
It was slow and it stung.
Now you're just a sensitive scar

I feel nothing when you look at me.
Just dried up butterflies
Who flap their wings
one last time
Before they crumble to
ash in the pit of my
stomach

I don't feel for you like I used to.
You gave the fatal blow to us
But I finished the job.
Was it ****** or was it just lust?
I don't think we know the difference.

Smothered in love
I'm not getting a wink of sleep tonight,
That's for sure

My face buried in your chest
I've never felt a heart beat as forcefully as yours does
It kicks so hard against my cheek
I'd swear you were awake
If you weren't snoring on my forehead

When I think you're dead to the world
I attempt my escape
But your arms tighten the second I wriggle
Drawing me in even closer
I give up, I'm not sleeping tonight
That's for sure

I'll just lie here
and breathe you in
all the while longing for sleep
but knowing that I'd rather lie here awake
folded into you
than somewhere else asleep without you

— The End —
