Notes About The Poem

Part of a 30 day journey, during which I explored, in poetry, my feelings and emotions, inside the context of a romantic relationship.

Butterflies

I could have cried the rest of my life
Sunk in hurt, fear and pain, trouble and strife 
I want you so much and I'm here to say
That I wasn't ready, when I pushed you away

I had to say those words and lock you out 
Was on my life quest, to see what I'm about 
Had to hurt you and had to hurt me 
To climb through the pain and set myself free

I've been on a journey, holy god was it tough
Alone, isolated, my path sharp and rough 
And yet it was worth it, because I have grown 
To love, and allow the true me to be known 

I fought my battle, victorious I stand
Let go of my past, a triumphant man
Hold hands with my demons, free, loving heart 
I open my arms, I'm now ready to start

I know you've been fighting a battle your own 
Through blood, sweat and tears, you fought and you've grown 
As you stand here before me, I look in your eyes 
I see honor, strength, grace, and feel butterflies 

I know I am standing in front of a knight 
Who'll protect me forever and do what is right 
My heart is pounding, my eyes well with tears 
We've fought for each other for all of these years

We move closer now, lips touch slowly, we kiss 
Tingling energy, bodily bliss 
"We" have arrived and our love is ignited 
As we stand eye to eye, joyous souls, hearts delighted
