Butterflies

When I saw you
My breath would catch
I was help in rapture
As the butterflies hatched

They fluttered within
Filling that empty space
With brief happiness
At you beautiful face

The butterflies flutter by
They’re pretty in the air
But then they’re gone
And I’m left in your lonely lair

I can’t bear to break your heart
But my love has turned black
I’m trapped in this masquerade
I want my butterflies back
