snip snip

by lizard

don't kill the butterfly before the ink dies, in its sleep and before you wash it off. it's gotta die naturally before you go snip snip. don't kill the butterfly before you feel the thrill again and before you feel happy. it's gotta die naturally before you go snip snip. don't kill the butterfly before you go out again and before love finds you. it's gotta die naturally before you go snip snip. you killed the butterfly after nothing good happened and after you hit rock bottom. it was murdered after you went snip snip.

this is about the butterfly project. i wrote this over a year ago so it's still rather terrible. this was before i completely developed my appreciation for poetry.
