[ there is a butterfly at my doorstep, ]

there is a butterfly at my doorstep,
she's begging to come in,
she sits patiently now

my body deprives itself of sleep,
I am reminded each time I see
the dark cirlces under my eyes

there are things I need to say,
but never will,
the words fall,
and they're yours to swallow,
mine to give,
but I cannot

there are words that will forever
remain unspoken,
because I am too afraid
of disturbing the "calm"

if you could know
the pain you've brought,
the ache you've caused,
but you never will

my body betrays me,
rebels against me,
betrays me like you

there is a butterfly at my door,
her body seizing in anguish,
her origami wings crushed
beneath your shoe,
and she waswaiting so patiently

Author notes

I have a lot of unresolved issues with people that I just don't have the courage to bring up in discussion...so the issues keep affecting me. It isn't a fun situation. I don't know why I let people make me feel like I don't deserve to speak my mind. Most of the people I have issues with are actually in my family, a few aren't.

So how was it?
