Butterfly Tears
March 26, 2012
Tears run down the face of a butterfly; only once or twice;
Tears of gold, or tears of poison;
Either one might happen
It all depends on the butterfly,
Whether she's good, bad, or both;
Dripping drops of diamonds with the tears of gold,
Leaking snakes and spiders in the tears of poison,
And then for the good and bad,
Rare liquid dreams await the butterfly's with a diversity of good and bad
But this really never happens,
As butterfly's almost never cry,
So you'll be lucky if you ever see;
The Tears of Butterfly's

More like my best friend and I talking about random topics and then I came up with it on the fly. I kind of wrote it on impulse. :)
