Butterflies Swirling in a Tornado

I'm ever so near you
and can't have you.

I've kissed you,
you've kissed me.

Too many barriers
and everyone can see.

Running away with my hopes
embraced, smothering me.

Wanting you, needing you
you feel the same.

Needing me, wanting me
butterflies picked up by a tornado.

We're both as gentle
bodies and minds as fragile.

Holding me, body mistakes
that it's going to have you.

Aching all over, hurting inside
every night, you're on my mind.

Butterflies swirling in a tornado
wings beating, sweating, together.

Together, but dying, they are not ashamed
we're together, yet separate.

Dying of loneliness, dying of caution
concurrently loving and trying not to get caught.

I live for you, and you alone
you walk in beauty.

Torn butterfly wings, flutter to the ground
like my heart flutters in your arms.
