How much must I
Remind myself of you
You,
You crawl around my brain
Leave open windows in my veins
For the butterflies to bleed through
They settle in my
Stomach and my breast bone
You won’t let me fall asleep
I toss and turn I
Dream of you, they leave me waking
Wishing every single one was true
And I laugh knowing
It’s the only thing to do
Laugh or cry or tell the truth
-I’ve done all those now
I’ve gone all out
Set the precident,
Written, said and sung it
Things I swore I’d never swear out loud
This is not a vow but
Butterfly, sit in my palm
I promise not to crush you
