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.
