Kim Van Breda Poet Rhyme

Dead Butterflies

DEAD BUTTERFLIES

I’ve loved you more than you 
deserve
how could I be such a fool?
you’ve hurt me more than I 
deserve
how could you be so cruel?

my stomach feels like butterflies have
just died
I want you to know about tears shed
and cried
every day I pray for you to change your
ways
all you ever cause is pain 
prayers said in
vain

Paul Callus June 14, 2014 at 2:53 PM This is lovely and yet sad too. It is painful to love and not be loved in turn....to give and not receive. Is it living in illusion and disillusion? // paul
