Butterfly, let's set you loose.
You are not a specimen
To be trapped in here like this
They'll watch you go and follow you.
And set traps on the way
Don't fall in, don't come back here
Butterfly, so soft and pure.
Full of love and gentle grace
But your innocence is warped
They see right through you.
You stalk their shadows
Which is why they pinned you down
Butterfly, please run away.
Go where you are warm
Where your heart won't be locked up
Pass right through the thunderstorm.
Make the sun emerge
And kiss each flower dry
Butterfly, the time is now
The danger will not die
But you have no time to waste.
Author notes
you can't stop a miracle
Song prompt: Forsaken by Dream Theater. I mixed some themes from the anime Loveless in here as well. I was thinking about how easily people can overlook the beauty of something due to what it means. This is kind of telling them to stop and look around. Hope you like!
