My Butterfly, My Love

I haven’t ate in days
my desk is littered
with at least a half dozen
half drunk cans of coke
which has been my only source of nutrition
yes I know, this isn’t healthy
but what I do you expect me to do
my heart feels like it weighs a million pounds
and nothing I can swallow
will ever fill the emptiness
that I now hold inside
everything seems so useless
so hopeless
like this is the end
and you want to be free
like a butterfly, beautiful
in the spring time sky
but I am not ready to release you
from the cage that I keep you in
deep inside my heart
you may flutter your wings
and decide to fly away
but you will always be with me in my heart
and I pray that you will decide to stay
my butterfly, my love
