Butterfly
Flutter high
You'd better fly
and paint the air
Colorless worm
Powerless you were
Alone in the blur
of the world out there
Brought up by a careless mother
Brought down by a faithless lover
Back-stabbed by the closest friend
But never strong enough to mend
The abuse in their love
Fed the unconditionality in yours
The harshness in their souls
Fueled the kindness in yours
When all this world's horrors
Swept away all your colors
New ones were your creation
A spectrum beyond imagination
Now all you see around you
is this world's boredom and pallor
Many will underestimate you
Won't appreciate you precious color
'Till you find that rare other you
who knows the price of your glamour
Has enough kindness to deserve you
from all the pain he had suffered
To invest himself all in you
to paint the air together
"If only this world had many of you
we could have loved one another"
Butterfly
Flutter far
Better fly high
like the star you are
Colorless worm
Alone in the blur
Not anymore
But so much more.
