The Black Butterfly

The black butterfly

It psst me

I looked but it didn't say

Its endless fluttering

Something was not okay

Let's get out, it said

I'll show a better life

Where none ever dies

And smiles stick on closed eyes

I said what it knew

Better live for good than die for bad

Better stay for love than to run from sad

The black butterfly

It psst me

I sprinkled water on it

It sat beside on the flower

It told me about the life outside

Held out a hand and I smiled

Near my face it caught a drop

I said that's water but it did not stop

The wings closed and a smile to feign

The black butterfly

It psst again

Tilted and came near

Touched my cheek and jumped on water

On the flower again it stayed

I'll come back, it said

I told her to go away

Nothing will ever change

I am not coming with you

"But I am here to be, be with you and take you along one day"

Live where you know is better, you may go and never come back

It flew and waved see you tomorrow

I asked why

It smiled

Crossed its hands on the back of her head and said

"love".
