Where were you when I realized You had broken my butterfly wings? When I looked at you with wide eyes and innocence? When harsh reality set in And I knew your sweet words were not enough Never enough I let your heart...break mine But you did it with such grace and poise I never felt your touch slip away Or saw your smile falter As the tears quietly fell to my feet I never swayed from you Until now I thought these wings would take me far Leading me to your embrace So I could finally rest, to breathe your breath And slowly take in life With you Home To watch the sunsets To wander with you and never get lost Except in your stare But I noticed That now I can't fly Never really could That home was not in your arms That my breath is hollow That I never did move But yet I am lost So I lay Struggling to leave These tears making it clear, my vision no longer clouded It was only the capturing Captivation Was all that mattered Only a moment Until I can leave, flutter away again Away from your gravity that pulls me in Away from your soft eyes that haunt me Away from You Lingering Hesitant breaths escape me now One glance back almost stops my tracks. I pause To listen But I notice my heart still beats alone. To breathe But the cold air is all that fills me. To look Back to you one last time But your eyes have left my memory. So slowly I walk away. I walk, not fly Because you don't deserve Anything more And I can quickly turn If you call my name |
