Goodbye To ButterfliesA Poem by Travis PrinoI'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired of you take my hand and look in my eyes as you start to come unglued you thought we were forever but forever ended today I'll hold you till you're all cried out while I'm planning my escape reason with the evil that you feel inside my heart we've grown older and we've grown stronger but we've grown apart the man I am is not the man who fell in love with you years go by and butterflies die as we're crippled by the truth I wanted you to comfort me when I'm gone will you find peace? I wanted you to comfort me when I'm gone you can find peace finally be free I was not the first one but I will be the last one you love I was your addiction more fatal than your favorite drug I crawled through your veins like a parasite eating your core you tried to kill me but you're the one who needed me more breathe in slowly as my silhouette dances in the night I'm walking away from you and this mess that I'm leaving behind the girl you are is not the girl who fell in love with me so say goodbye to those butterflies that now feel like a disease I wanted you to comfort me when I'm gone will you find peace? I wanted you to comfort me when I'm gone you can find peace finally be free as my soul leaves my body and my pulse becomes faint remember to hold me like you're my personal saint forget the pain that I've caused you and the scars on your flesh cause the bruises and contusions can't be replaced with my death I'll say I'm sorry and I love you as I whisper my final words I don't expect you to forgive me for the selfish acts you've endured she was the only one who's ever loved me and the only one I ever hurt now all I can do is lie here as the light pulls me away from her I wanted you to comfort me when I'm gone will you find peace? I wanted you to comfort me when I'm gone you can find peace finally be free suddenly everything changes from the sound of your voice to the beat of my heart while you're holding your breath and I'm falling apart suddenly everything changes as your voice fades away and my light flickers out I can see that our love has broken you down and as you're letting me go your arms still feel like home I wanted you to comfort me when I'm gone will you find peace? I wanted you to comfort me when I'm gone you can find peace finally be free I leave you below I leave you alone so I will never hurt you again. © 2019 Travis Prino |
