How can I cure you?

I’m beginning to follow…

I’m going to have to get out there,

And find some butterflies for you;

Glittering; turquoise; indigo; gold.

I’ll try my very best with the butterfly

- hold on –

Wouldn’t I harm it?

If I was to catch it?

 

Can I just say something?

Before I take it back

And dare breathe a word

I would die.

You’ve given me enough

Butterflies already,

You really don’t need to give me anymore,

Even if they’re magical or glittery.

Plus you might do more damage

Trying to catch one for me.

 

This is between you and me,

I promise!

And that’s a promise I will keep!

No more butterflies.

I’m stumped:

In my mind the only two options,

For me to make them go away:

Ignorance is bliss;

One or two steps further from;…

Unfortunately for the butterflies,

 

Neither of these are currently options.

I’m not going to lie,

There’s part of me,

That would like one,

To happen,

But

It’s not the right thing to do,

And it wouldn’t be fair all round.
Still being patient,

Will be for a long time.

Submission

 

Rushes of

Introspection

Edge of prayer

Prostrating

Forlorn

Hopeless

Tears

 

I-only-ever-made-one-wish-I-wished-for-you.

 

Trample on my broken heart

Crush the velvet of my soul,

Rip the silken ribbons

Frayed threads of gold.

Interlacing sequins,

Faded mirrors

To the world,

Missing true

Blue diamonds

Left out in the cold.

Forget every promise,

Cold palms break the ice.

Every Arabic word,

Maggots and woodlice.

Rotten heart of apples

Used to be fresh

To the core.

I am the result:

You are the cause.
