Broken Butterflies

Go to sleep; close your eyes.
Dream of broken butterflies.
They tore their wings upon a thorn;
You know the pain they have endured.
Listen close, for they are weeping.
You feel their pain as you are sleeping.
You toss and turn- you can't get out.
This is a nightmare, without a doubt.
The butterflies- they are all screaming.
You're trying to leave, and it's demeaning.
Fix the past, continue forward.
The butterflies are alive no more.
