Butterfly: I Wasn't Truthful Enough

3rd lyric

Well hey, dark haired, lovely miss
This is the spot where your story begins

Let’s celebrate tonight with a smile and a feast
Engulf and swallow everything in sight, at least
Never mind the newcomer, handsome beast
My little butterfly, wrapped up in a fist

Just withering thorns in her pink, naïve mind
She’s a red blossoming rose, but everyone’s blind…
A dark lily, unique things I find
My paper butterfly, she’s one of a kind

Not everyone can see how we’re akin
Hopefully you’ve come to realize I don’t exist
It’s not enough to be merely named in a glowing list
Thin, little butterfly with transparent skin

Tragedy and happiness, all part of her lore
Love and self destruction, she says “A bit more”
But I want to hold you to your very core
Fragile butterfly, cry your heart out until your eyes become sore

Whoever you wait for is taking too long
Why can’t happiness and truth ever come along?
And with your paper limbs you wrap me, hoping we’ll stand strong
See, my tattered butterfly, for you I wrote this song

Not everyone can see how we’re akin
Hopefully you’ve come to realize I don’t exist
It’s not enough to be merely named in a glowing list
Thin, little butterfly with transparent skin

This is so touching. *joins the applause w/unspoken guilt*
A great piece to be sure!

"Can everyone just stand up and give him a round of applause?" *looks around to see she's the only one in the classroom* "darnit!"

Bravo I love the title, I love it all!
A very lucky girl, that butterfly of yours!
