Silent and Numb

black and white butterfly's pasted to the cold glass windowpane against the grainy image of clouds but to the butterfly's they are forever sailing the windless world forever following eachother in such sweet refrain silent and numb black and white butterfly's pasted to the glass wilderness the urge to give their lives color the desire to be more than born to be to see the better world greener pastures to be the apple of some young girls eye to be the happier dream brief moment when head above water the thoughts are clearer the feelings less fractured swimming the last mile filled with sunshine breathing feels so free after the nail to the head laughter box creature image hollow pool where we have run out of water while i'm still trying to swim upstream beat the butterfly's home while i'm still silent and numb
