Nothing but Butterflies

we are nothing but butterflies flying for a day but thinking it’s forever wings soft as what we never say hearts light but the silence heavy time slips like threads unraveling steady love lives loud in a whisper’s disguise sunset in our chest while the morning dies we kiss like we’re carving our names in the breeze but breath forgets it doesn't beg doesn't plead our shadows stretch thin where the light won’t stay echoes of touch in the slow decay fragile as the promise we never spoke cracking in the warmth like mirror smoke still we float full of flame and doubt trying to land where the stars burned out our wings beat soft in the hush of regret writing poems the sky won’t ever forget we are here we are gone we are caught in between just a blink in the eye of an endless dream
