Fly, (Please)

Topic:
obsession
|
For years, it had not fed.
For feeding, in all its glory,
Left emptiness, hunger, in its wake,
And it could not bear to be empty.
And it could be sweet, saccharin, maudlin
That nothing stood a chance.
So when the beautiful, beautiful butterfly
Fluttered unsuspecting about its leaves
Its jaws could not help
But open.
But she was not food,
She was perfect,
And no harm should come
To one who breaks free from suffering
To become so vibrant,
So buoying, that the world is caught within her splendor
And tickled by her joy,
Taken unawares by the risings of hope.
I want you to be happy,
So please, please, stay away :
Because I will hurt you,
Because I will love you,
Because I will kill you,
For bringing me back to life.

| A beautiful and tragic metaphor. Remember however that people can change. It is a matter of breaking habits, and is extremely difficult, but it can be done with the right motivation. |

| I love the sneering menace, the sense of danger, that comes through in this |
