Dead Butterflies

DEAD BUTTERFLIES I’ve loved you more than you deserve how could I be such a fool? you’ve hurt me more than I deserve how could you be so cruel? my stomach feels like butterflies have just died I want you to know about tears shed and cried every day I pray for you to change your ways all you ever cause is pain prayers said in vain © Kim van Breda—June 2014

This is lovely and yet sad too. It is painful to love and not be loved in turn....to give and not receive. Is it living in illusion and disillusion? // paul
