The Butterfly's Abyss
she left by choice,
felt she had no voice-
I saw the pain in her eyes
as she wore that sad disguise.
yet...
I saw a butterfly
flying high in the sky-
thoughts linger of her soul,
and how depression took a toll.
in my heart she'll be
forever with me in beauty-
all my days are filled with hope
that I can somehow learn to cope.
and...
that butterfly of light
gave me love's pure sight-
no pain can be as bad as this,
but I bathe in the butterfly's abyss.
