Dead Butterflies
By TakeMeAsIAm
No one can say she didn't try.
She struggled against his currents,
yet true to herself:
she dreamed
and she loved
and she
held nothing back.
But she couldn't make him love her.
Some
people can simply float on.
But the lonely hearts
sink straight
to the bottom,
their stomachs filled with the weight
of dead
butterflies.
