Dare not to cry because he's left you.
Dare not to spill blood across your rosy cheeks
or arms or bare feet.
You're turning hazy blue—a blue dream
trapped in a glittered glass jar.
It's night; your letters are unanswered.
You feel like the wine's burning
your throat into something you don't know.
Much how he burnt your heart into
fragments—you're hurting.
It's not always butterflies and rainbows,
nor storms and lightning.
It's just that we have a few scars from
the battles we have lost and won.
But these haunted echoes
from your ringing past never stops
burning your already-broken heart.
It's aching hard; your heart's loud and fast—
He had a chance, and he missed
catching the butterfly.
Dare not to mask the blood-soaked ache
and igniting scratches
upon your raw skin.
Let the few splattered bursts of white art
mark us on this oily canvas.
