Feb 2017
Weaved in black and white
Embraced by the endless wind
Rising in its flight
Lost in an eternal sin

It flutters through the air
Camouflaged in ruby red
Like an unknown plague everyone dreads

Reminiscing old memories
Shedding wasteful tears.
It re-writes long forgotten diaries
Calling forth all possible fears

It'll fly through your heart,
And disrupt the already broken beat
Causing the fragile thing to wind up in defeat

Darting right through the veins
Scattering all the blood
Drowning the victim in its poisonous flood

Invading your mind and killing your heart
Causing sweet dreams to fall apart.

Evading the infection is an impossible task
Because it wears an angelic mask
Luring its victims through its sparkling eyes
Telling them sweet and hopeful lies

Flying through the empty gray sky,
There is a bleeding butterfly.
