Wingless Butterfly

Wingless butterfly in my breast
salt upon my lips
Fluttering dimly in my head
the memory of a kiss

The dying warmth of a hand in mine
which held so snug and tight
the glowing gaze upon my face
extinguished like a light

His blood across my apron
his last breaths upon my hands
the shaking eyes which asked for help
our glittering wedding bands

Then a crack and endless falling
an abyss of solitude
The pain and endless suffering
just a meager prelude

And as the butterfly weeps and moans

and slowly begins to die

my heart it withers and floats away

and with it so do I

This is very pretty, I love the beat and the rhythm. The rhyme is wonderful, except you were stretching it a little bit with "lips" and "kiss". The imagery is what captures me. It's so vivid and filled to the brim with emotion and all of it is expressed incredibly well through your wording. I also love the title, wonderful job!
