theres more than one way to keep a butterfly
but even if you see the hatch
even when they only hatched from their cacoons
is because you saved them
even when you are the first to see the fly
they never stay

Yes, this is so true, sometimes the only way that we may truly hold on to love or anything in life is to let it go, and we in turn, may reflect on it the way we last remembered it to be, beautiful. In some cases, given time, it may return to you. This was a lovely write, keep it up

| Kind of seems like it should be a song. I hear music when I read it. Good job. |

I can see why it took you so long - you've tumble-dried so many metaphors and similes here that I don't know where to start.
Puppies? Puddles? Flies? Leaves? Wreeds?
The rhymes are all so forced, that the overall meaning, line-by-line is abstracted out of my conceptual reach.
Try it again, without rhyming.

That's not bad at all. I do see were N_P is coming at, I do see some forced rhyming which I am guilty of most of the time.
Although I thought this was good, I am curious though why it took so long to write?

AUTHOR NOTE:
To answer the common question - it took just under a year to write because I first had the initial concept of a butterfly when I was breaking up with someone a year ago, however I only fully understood what I was trying to say and how I wanted to say it recently. As I broke up when another girl or two or three. I rarely write about myself but this had to be put down to pen I make no bones about using metaphors etc because as with a personal poem, the metaphors relate to the situations I was in and the rhyming is how I wanted to say my messages. I personally feel it helped with the flow. I hope you enjoyed reading this piece in either case, and that you draw whatever meaning from it you want.
Thank you for all your comments

I think that this is a lovely goodbye/ farewell poem. It was brillantly written and some poems just need time to write. This is a masterpiece. It was really good..
