Gilded Butterflies
Oh butterfly
Oh how your beauty mesmerizes me
Oh how graceful
Oh how marvelous
This butterfly
So small and petite
Harmless
Gentle
Breakable
Your alluring presence
Dazzling
Charming
You have bewitched me
I am trapped forever in thy gaze
I cannot pull away
Hypnotized
Impossible to turn back
Awe struck in the presence of beauty
I will hold dear to this moment
Never letting it go
You have enchanted me
I am under your spell
Your pale white wings
Fragile
Snow white
Blood Stained
You begin to float away
I follow
I thy puppet
You pull my strings
Suddenly I feel something
A feeling so familiar
The feeling of falling
The feeling of Fear
You float away leaving me to my fate
In the distance I can hear the people
I can hear their Screams
This is the last thing I will ever hear
You are the last thing I will ever remember
I hold tight to this memory.
