Fluttering Butterflies
Enamored by fluttering butterflies
My words splinter across the floor, hollow
Desolate like my kaleidoscope eyes
He sunk his teeth into my truth and lies
Despite flaws he slept away his sorrow
Enamored by fluttering butterflies
I emptied my mind and painted blue skies
Shattered perfume, let the crystal shallow
Desolate like my kaleidoscope eyes
Yet still he lingered, wove our cobalt ties
Pain overwhelmed me, forced me to swallow
Enamored by fluttering butterflies
He stained all we knew, and hid my demise
Sucked my sorrow, shielded me from tomorrow
Desolate like my kaleidoscope eyes
He locked my emotion, muted my cries
Filled with twisted glee, I began to follow
Enamored by fluttering butterflies
Desolate like my kaleidoscope eyes
