My Butterfly Story.
A butterfly landed
On me one day.
She tickled me silly,
Made me tremble
In a good way.
She tried hard to listen
To all I couldn¨t say.
But in the end,
To save herself,
She had to fly away.
I forced myself
to pray for God
To take our love away.
And for this I shall be sad,
Til my dying day.
