Butterfly Wings

I can't believe, just won't believe That you tore apart her wings Colours vibrant, always cheery Full of life, full of love Always willing, never running Grace was her name, it was her way Her life, her rules, her tone Now without luster She is called worm Never to fly again How can you enjoy the butterfly If you won't let her spread her wing? How dare you take them for yourself And leave her alone to die A lover can be used up And tossed aside so quickly But a love is hard to find Hard to keep So hold on when you can Obsession is not attractive And cruelty wins you no games Steal the colours from those around But your world is forever gray And you'll be forever in the dark
