Flutterby
I
once liked
butterflies, because
you did. I was enchanted,
because I knew I couldn't hold
you. One day you would fly away
and say "Hold me like you love me".
I did. Fuck, at least I tried.
I knew at once, when you left, that
I too was denied by gravity. Even
though on Earth our time was never
right, in spirit you always dragged
me onward. Through blood and
fire. I emerged, with tears in my eyes
and skin on my teeth. Changed,
hardened by the light of night.
Blinded by forgotten destiny.
I can't trust my dreams,
because they lead
me to your gaze.
Icey blue wings
that pierce my
heart. I have
long known
those eyes.
But not
anymore.
