Amelia Laubscher Poet Rhyme

Butterfly Blade

oh butterfly how you used to be my friend at night
 watching you fluttter as blood took over my sight
 a little winged creature so innocent and sweet 
 nobody knew it was my skin you used to meet

 butterfly kisses on my skin so nice and cool
 red ink flowing on the ground into its own pool
 oh how we loved to cry
 when morning came and we had to say good bey
 a day without you made my heart ache
 walking around with a smile i hade to fake

 butterfly how could your spell be so strong
 for i was hooked on you for way to long

 my arms i have to show for my regret
 as i used to live my life in red
 as i broke off your wings your image did fade
 all that was left was the truth all along, you were just a blade

Monterey Sirak July 17, 2014 at 6:32 AM Oh my, this is powerful, haunting, sad, and so very real. This is poetry at its finest, when the emotions leap from the page and leave the reader stunned. I hope you are much better and happier now.
