the butterflies

they fly around me, swirling fast, blocking out the sun,
they swarm through me, taking my breath away, leaving me speechless
they burst out of me, my every pore, all of me

the butterflies

they will never leave me, they will always follow me, keeping me company with their bright wings and large eyes, never questioning me, yet keeping me silent and compliant

the butterflies

I'm used to them, following me, keeping me from speaking, making me hold my tongue and agree, to just agree and smile and let you do it,
but yet

the butterflies

I've always loved them, they loved me, and slowly we became something entirely new, something to revel in for all the ages, a new metamorphosis, something beautiful and perfect

the butterflies

they're gone now, they have left me alone, I will never seem them again, I used to think they loved me but they left me all by myself in this world, they have abandoned me

the butterflies

they are gone forever, I can never see them and they will never return, this cruel world we live in has rid itself of them, and they are no longer, the butterflies have fallen

but

the butterflies

left you behind for me

*and you love me back
