You came in with the winter
Your voice, it seemed so small
Who knew you would leave me splintered
beaten, battered, taking the fall

You floated across the room
and it was you who I could barely grasp
I wanted so bad to hold you
to put my fingers around you, and clasp

You stared far off in the distance
Never once you even glanced
Across the room you floated
But across my mind, you danced

You eloquently fluttered
Too quick for me to seize
I wanted so bad to touch you
Your presence was like a breeze

Butterfly you have stung me
Butterfly you have left me cold
Lepidoptera, you have gone
Lepidoptera: I could not hold
