Poem Title:
Poem
From the day she emerged from her cocoon and spread her brightly colored wings, her life was destined for heartache. She went through every kind of pain imaginable, abuse from the harsh winds, loosing friends and family members to those damn windshields in this thing called life. She had her heart broken so many times that she now expected it at every turn. The only constant in her life was her little baby boy caterpillar that would one day grow to a beautiful butterfly ready to spread his own wings. Flying around one day, this beautiful butterfly ran into a whirlwind called love and fell head over heals very quickly to a very handsome, very caring male butterfly. She did not trust him at first because of all the heartache she had encountered in her life before but he showed her what trust was and before long she trusted this male with every ounce of her small being. Before long she was so lost in the wild winds that she was having trouble keeping herself a float, her wings beating hard to keep from falling into the dark dismal abyss. One day as she was feeling more loved than she ever had, she passed by a couple other butterflys and overheard their conversation where her name was mentioned. She paused just long enough to hear that her true love had told one of them that they were just friends and he really didn't know her that well. Needless to say this beautiful butterfly felt like she had hit the windshield of a big mac truck. She was crushed. She knew better than to trust, but he made it so damn easy, she couldn't help herself. From that day forward, she never trusted again and the day came when in that whirlwind of life, before she could even think, that Mac truck was there in front of her and she slammed into the huge windshield. Now that beautiful brightly colored butterfly, lays on the cold, cold ground, her wings broken and bruised like her heart.
