My Butterfly

I felt the butterflies in flutter

Now all I can do is stutter

Not because my heart has been lifted

But because my world has been dimmed

I found a love

Who treats me well

I fucked up

And now all I can feel is the pain from how hard I fell

Butterflies don't always live

They can die

But mine still are working to fight

I love all that he was

I made a mistake

It hurts so much

All I can feel towards myself is hate

All I can feel is remorse

Knowing that I was the one you so very much adored

But then I don't think straight

And do something causing us both pain

I broke the pact

And now you're mad

But know I understand

I get it

If you want nothing to do with me

I will leave you be

I just want to explain my feelings to you

One more time, at the very least...

Be able to say

I love you

With no worries..
