butterfly

by rselisabeth

One wrong flower and you might lose yourself That nectar can make your path wind and blur Your beautiful pattern is an array of polka dots Braille made to your own biography My darling butterfly, please watch your wings They tear so easily my love You are already a patch-work, Sewn back together after tearing yourself into pieces many times over When will you love yourself as I do? Caring for your wings, staying from poisonous petals And soaring as far away from them as your wings will allow My dear please remember your wings were made to flutter And you to float in the sky Do not spend all your time on flowers that only cause you to rip out your stitches
