Broken Butterflies

You've seen my scars
And tearful eyes
But you wouldn't see broken butterflies
My tears were the blood
On the butterfly's wings
But the pain was lost among other things
Then they flew to the sun
And fluttered in the sky
The beauty of their presence was the beauty of your eyes
Before their wings were broken
They were shattered and alone
But then you came along. And they were no longer on their own
Their power was your laugh
It's what made them fly
You were the reason that they fluttered. And watched the days go by.
They were broken before birth
And they no longer had to fight
Until they'd fade away... But then you brought them back to life.

But now you just forgot them...
And the butterflies flew away
So we're back to where we started
...What seems like yesterday
I can't believe you left me here...
shattered and alone
and all that i've got left of you...
is...
is....
nothing. i have nothing to call my own.

So one day we'll be gone
The butterflies and I
Where we'll fly away together...
Both high up in the sky...
You'll get your wish and i'll get mine
And it won't be very long...
Until we set our journey out...
to when we'll both be gone.
