Even Butterflies Bleed

Her face pales, into the insignificance of life Cold like concrete with the greys of modern strife Colours of her life have drained from her hurtful past Memories of colourful hues have left her soul to cast Where once she graced our presence and stood with freely breathe She now lies in natures setting, lost for future grieve Seasons pass above her, whilst around her new life seeds For something feels her pain, it's the place where butterflies bleed http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/dark-4.php

Fantastic title James. It's one of those poems I want to read over and over. Each couplet is filled with sadness and beauty. I might be weird but it made me think of the first law of thermodynamics - Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can only change forms - her troubled energy passed to the butterflies. A very beautiful write ~ Sharon
