don't **** 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 **** 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 **** 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.
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 **** 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 **** 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.
