I Remain Unchanged

Went through a fight with a friend, ended up losing her to someone else.

The infinite blackness surrounds me

I draw it in closer

 

I have not seen anything but the blackness in quite a while

I have not heard anything but the thoughts inside my head for quite some time

 

And then appeared the butterfly

Fluttering its soft yellow wings

 

The blackness retreats at the radiance of the butterfly

Its dance hypnotic

 

And then the whiteness appeared

Brilliantly harsh but inviting

 

Soon, half was blackness and half was white

split directly down the middle

 

So the butterfly had a choice to make

to dwell in darkness or move into something brighter

 

It starts to make its way to the light

but is hesitant

 

Hovering just at the point where the two sides meet

the butterfly considers one last time

 

And then it crossed over

into the world of light

 

I still see the butterfly

but I am no longer its home

 

The light consumed the butterfly

and it is no more

 

The light then consumed itself

for it had nothing else to live for

 

And all was blackness once more

I remain unchanged

Wow...like people said, you wanna read it forever.

Hm, very interesting and creative. You just want to keep reading even though it is a longer poem. Which is a very good thing. :) Great job.

Very nice. Very unusual. That being said as a good thing. So nice job!

This is amazing. You can't stop reading it, it's kind of...mesmerizing? Good job, my friend.

I still wonder who the butterfly symbolizes...? But, You do not suck! and I still think it's great! :)
