Broken Butterfly

I broke the wings of my beautiful butterfly
With my tongue
Spitting words of venom
Crushing, shattering
Your heart to pieces
I kept slaying words

As you cried and pleaded
For me to please stop
I continued without a care

Crushing your world
Destroying the love we built
The trust you gave me
Breaking the one promise
That I would never hurt you

I have become that creature from hell
The one I feared
The one who once slaved my world

Ripping the skin from my body
To feel the pain I have caused you
I look into the mirror
Seeing that heartless bitch
The one who made
That beautiful butterfly cry



Please forgive me

    Well spoken and I hope you two found inner peace.

    Dear Rosa,

    A lady did to me years ago as you have explained here. I'm thinking if the person is like me how I felt about her, you will be forgiven. Love is soooooooo many things and forgiveness happens to be one of them. You made me think of that person who hurt me and I have forgiven her without her even asking. She was never sorry about what she did, but I forgave her anyway. You demonstrate so much class displaying your raw emotions for this person. I will keep my fingers crossed for you that forgiveness is in the near future.



    Many s
    Ted E.

    Sis!

    I have missed seeing your works of evocative emotion and passion. It is only now that I have come across something new...and for this, I have to apologize.

    Whoever it was that quipped the famous line about words never being able to hurt should be shot, because the wrong kinds of words can cut very deeply. However, your apology is no less eloquent, nor do they color you a bad person. If only we were all so remorseful for the insults we've hurled at one another. Whoever's forgiveness you are beseeching, I am sure they will be moved to pardon you, for you obtund the strength of any word with your compassion and understanding.

    Many blessings,

    Raven Aurora

    Words are very powerful, sometimes losing our tempers things are said that are so hard to take back. I wish every happiness for you

    We all have I day I find and friends are friends regardless of momentary slips. Sometimes we hold back to try to protect when what is needed is opening up to finally clear the air, so to speak. All live a spell or two in denial and need an occasional
    shaking to regain their ground. By actions one is known and not by words, so if your TOTAL actions outway a slip of toungue
    then the truth of actions will be seen and no forgivenss is needed. Most bars and wall are self fashioned so don't become trapped by a single event but rather continue to walk the path that you know you should...

    Hugs...Eddy

    Rosa --

    You have written a beautifully sad piece here. Sometimes we say things that we dont mean, somethings can be forgiven and some can not. Sorry and I love you do not heal all wounds. I hope that you will be able to build back what you have lost, though, I am sure you have heard the saying "it takes years to build a house, and only moments to destroy it" it may take time, but I believe rebuilding is worth it in this case.

    Criss

    Exquisite

    Heart-wrenchingly sad, cheri Rosa... The raw beauty and emotion that you have depicted so eloquently and gracefully here... has left me without proper words of admiration or praise. Please forgive me, but rest assured, I shall return when I DO find those words that this masterpiece deserves, . Beautiful, and dripping with despair. Merci beaucoup for sharing with us, cheri... I hope everything turns out well in the end. All my love and strength. Be back soon. Forever,

    Your dear friend/avid fan,
