To my tiny—so tiny, tiny butterfly:
To my muse of childhood lullaby:
To my fair maid in seas of chai:
all at once, I do love you!
You left me then, but
then came back!

Oh,
you came back,
my tiniest butterfly!
I see you flap your
wings as you do
sing your
artful tone
through pipes
that lead to nowhere.

Oh! There! You perch atop a belle—
that blade of grass you call your own!
You eat of the Earth; but your mind is
accursed of countless mites that leech
upon your tiny—so tiny brain.

To my butterfly,
your brood
will all sing the
same: so tiny, so,
so tiny the flying
of butter!

Oh!

Please
come hither
to me, hitherto the
brink of reality; alight
on my fingertips and
stay with me, you
stupid, whimsical
insect. For once, I called
you my own, my tiny butterfly.
So butter—such tiny, flying butter—
so fly. So—fly away? Then go and fly!

Let the wind guide you! You have no
place here, friend. May the owlet
never find you. Though, I'd
say you deserve to die
as I, you twisted,
unforgiving bug!
You’re useless to me
now, but I love you like
the day I stumbled
upon your
thought
of me.

Once you
were a curse to
me, and now you
are but dust to me.

So go and see what
waits for thee in the
unforgiving world
of endless, moldy
windowsills!

Is it our nature
To cause intentional harm,
To make things suffer?

Do we find pleasure
When we terrify others,
Is this really us?

History has shown
A fierce beast resides within,
There’s a tame one, too.

All humans struggle
With Yin-Yang disharmony,
With the good and bad.

Some rationalize
There is a duality,
We’re devils and saints.

Humans **** humans,
Insatiable blood lust,
**** and **** again.

Humans help humans
There is charity and love,
How long will it last?

Is it our nature
To cause pain and to do harm;
Or, to pursue good?

Lost.
His golden brown eyes drew me in like a distant light I wanted so badly to touch.

His lips, so mysterious and with the slightest smile, made me smile back and feel like I needed to hide my blushing cheeks.

His hands, as they moved, where they wanted made my head spin in circles and all I could do was close my eyes.

All of these would soon fade away and all I could feel when it was all said and done was pain. Hurt that it couldn't last forever and that I wasn't enough for you. Used because you eventually wanted that with someone other than me. Broken because our daughter was created with so much love and you turned out to be so evil. Pain because that was the only emotion left.
clank
His words whisper to you
clash*
They bind you to his twisted world
clink
Shining armour so dark
clang
Taint your mind to his pleasure

snap
Rusty is his once strong power
crash
Free is your caged soul
thud
To the floor his ******* rests
Kita you know what this means

— The End —
