| a beautiful butterfly |
A fragile
child with bruised wings
you found
refuge in the caverns
of my troubled
mind.
I kissed your broken hopes
I warmed your broken wings
and prayed to the gods
that you would never leave me.
with a splash of bright colours
then tried to shock me
and demanded my response.
A coupling of minds, we fed
each other's need for loneliness.
At ease —we both knew
we were never destined to be lovers—
we revelled in the sin of happiness.
I was terrified.
Strike out first, push the button,
wreck, destroy.
Banish this deceptive dream.
I plunged into that pit
and painted all thoughts of us
on the walls in black.
How I miss your song.
Your face is now a prisoner
trapped in a hopeless screen.
I wonder, did I ever really
know you or was I just
a stranger in your brilliant life.
I put my head above the parapet
and look at your happy world.
I speak to you but you stay silent
and I sink back into my lonely life.
