No Longer His Butterfly

He woke me up at 5 a.m. Said he couldn't do this He wasn't a family man No he didn't want to sacrifice or live in poverty with a young family Said I was just a toy And that he never loved my girl and boy So he packed his bags And he said goodbye Maybe for a minute I thought I would die No longer his butterfly No longer his butterfly No longer his butterfly I think I'll flutterby He's not ashamed of himself at all He wants to party Do drugs and alcohol He wants his cake and to eat it all He's just another selfish man Throwing love into a garbage can I wish that he could understand what life is all about He decided to abandon me and leave us here in poverty cuz he don't want a family No chance to work it out He woke me up at 5 a.m. Said he couldnt do this He wasn't a family man No he didn't want to sacrifice or live in poverty with a young family Said I was just a toy And that he never loved My girl and boy So he packed his bags And he said goodbye Maybe for a minute I thought I would die No longer his butterfly No longer his butterfly No longer his butterfly I think I'll flutterby Written by Heather Condee I wrote this song for an ex boyfriend. He didn't like my song. Thought I wrote him a love song..... As if!!!!

I love the way you react to the brokenness and certainty of a lost love. There are many ways to soften the blow.... You seem to have done very well in accepting the reality of it all..... One of the better things that come out of these situations is they become seeds for great poems..... You have planted and nurtured this one very well..... I can't help but believe he missed a chance at a great life with a dynamite woman..... Love Ya...... Jake
