The Butterfly Mar 2014
Like an elephant behind a wall
I feel so small.
Like a bird in a cage
is this coming of age.
Our love was so full of life
Now so full of strife.
Why can't I just get away
All I want with you is to stay.
Will we ever be able to proceed
with everything we dream?
What if this is just a waste of time
and I just get left behind?
Forever waiting for the love
that they say only comes from above.
But you are my everything
nothing else is even worth comparing.
Nothing compares to you..
The Butterfly Mar 2014
You say it's all you need
but would you just stop and read
all the signals I constantly send?
My heart is in need of a mend
but you never seem to bend.
Is it always about you and yours?
When did this love become such a chore?
I seem to lose my vision
when I let you push with your decision.
All I can see is the yellow caution
but you just speed to full throttle.
What will become of us
when all that's left is your dust?
Somehow this car has got to turn around.
The Butterfly Mar 2014
Far away I feel I have traveled
to this place I seem to have unraveled.
Further and further I seem to drift
into a state of mind that's only a myth.
The things that held me together
have become nothing, as if just a feather.
I look around for the glue
that held me together, which was you.
Feeling lost and unraveled...
The Butterfly Mar 2014
Pressing and pushing me up against a wall
it's all I can do to catch my breath.
Scared to death of a sudden stall
what would I be if you really left?
I dream of easy going
with our love just flowing.
Struggles and fights are all there seems to be
between the you of you and me.
Why can't we just love without the struggle?
What if you decide I'm not worth the trouble?

Why
How is it that you still get to me underneath
after all this time we have had beneath?
Deep down low I have buried
all the emotions that constantly vary.
Irritating me to my core
making my entire soul sore.
Why does it have to be this way
with every ounce of what you say?
The Butterfly Mar 2014
You are driven by a force way stronger than a gail
I prefer to move at the speed of a snail.
You charge into a space with no regard
which only makes me want to hide and guard.
You over power my senses
making me put up fences.
How should I relax and be at peace
when you can't seem to cease.
But something draws me time and time again
to your unrelenting grip on my heart
even though I know it's not very smart
I can't be without you ever again.
The Butterfly Feb 2014
Pushing me into a corner
towering me as if you're my owner.
Crushing me with your presence
causing self imposed penance.
How should I cope
when all I can do is mope?
I know what you say maybe true
but do you even have a clue?
The pressure maybe too great
please tell me it's not too late.
Are we past the point of no return?
