Butterfly go away and save my day,
be reminded I no longer serve your ways.
I no longer can find your pollen and feed your hunger,
I can no longer observe you and love you.
Butterfly of bright color, I must bid you goodbye,
for I have planned my death throughoutfully, tonight I fly.
Butterfly go away and be reminded of this day.
For this day is the day when I give everything away.
Butterfly of mine, I no longer need your glitter,
I no longer need roses that end up withered.
I'll ask you one favor, if that soothes you,
tell him I loved him and that I'll miss his~
[Wonderful smile,
Thoughtless moments,
Incoherent conversations,
And the tears he made me cry]
Tell her I thank her for the friendship she gave,
and tell my friends that they did save my day.
Butterfly of mine, never give them hope,
never tell them my reason, let them choke.
Never regret me, never forget my essence.
Who knows? Maybe I end up being like you...
Butterfly, don't cry, glitter is falling from your eyes,
I never showed it, but I was dying inside...
Silently I preffered my death to be,
even though it's painful, it made me be free...
I guess I hoped too much to be like you,
free from wondering and never in love.
I'm sorry too late, butterfly of mine,
your colors reminded me I had a life.
But is just too late, I'm already inside a box,
and I feel you standing on the top,
crying glitter tears, aren't you dear?
{Rain covers everyone's faces, it even hurts you,
yet you stand there waiting... even though I won't come back home no more...}

You were right! I do love this one! And its even more saddening than Violin! Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! I could just see the glitter of the hopeful butterfly as its beautiful wings of color beg you to reconsider those dark thoughts. Its magical yet realistic! Thanks for the read!

Butterfly go away and be reminded of this day.
For this day is the day when I give everything away
too many days and the rhyming seems a tad forced.
Butterfly of mine, never give them hope,
never tell them my reason, let them choke.
Never regret me, never forget my essence.
Who knows? Maybe I end up being like you...
these lines threw me off...
this seems a tad jumpy...at the beginning it doesnt seems like you are talking about death which is screwy. if you are going to end in death begin in death
