The consolation of your words
has no connection to my heart
as the butterfly's crushed wings
lie below my cart.
Did I just cause a hurricane?
Did someone just die?
Could all this really happen?
From one tiny Butterfly?
I fight my tears of pain
as i stare at the destruction i've caused
the life i've taken from another
the very beat of my heart completely paused.
Did this creature have a family?
Was it wandering alone?
Will they worry about their child
and watch it die with a moan?
It was a complete accident
i didnt even see
this once-beautiful creature
lying beneath my tree.
So the Butterfly Effect
is absolutely true
because a bolt of lightning
just struck and killed you.
