Blue Butterfly

A girl encased in time
All she sees is a garden of flowers
A blue butterfly flies by
Suddenly she surges with power
Transported to this beautiful place
The butterfly sits in her hair
Some time passes by

Beware of the effects of the garden
Suddenly the butterfly is not there
Panic is set in motion, 
I'm not sure why because, 
My heart is usually hardened.
She runs through a forest, her vision is blurry
She finds the blue butterfly, caught in a web
She rushes to the butterfly in a hurry 
Tears flowing like rivers down her face,
In real life too? Wait…

I opened my eyes,
All this time had passed me by,
I don't know why, but I just sat there and cried.
