Only A Few Days

They take my black butterfly and tell me to live,
Do they know what they have done, how could I forgive?
Then they take my dark angel and pull us away,
My heart goes into a state of anger and disarray.
So quickly and suddenly was he taken,
And now my sorrow, I cannot awaken.
Only a few days they say, it's not long,
Only a few days they say, they are so very wrong.
Without his warmth, I will whither and die,
So without him near, why should I try?
Hold your breathe for five minutes, let's see how you do,
You've choked my heart, but you are so blind, you've no clue.
You took away my reason to persevere,
Now you've taken my reason to hold back these tears.
You've taken my air so I cannot breathe,
Open up forgotten pains, what you've done I cannot conceive.
You're tearing my soul in two,
I can no longer hear his voice, if you only knew.
I can't breathe, I dare not live without him near,
How much more pain must I endure until this is clear?
From the source I once held, I can no longer draw,
Without him close I feel so much more flawed.
In this dark cold room, I feel so much more alone,
I can't even hear your soft assuring voice on the phone.
Monday went by very slow,
My sadness I dared not show.
Tuesday passes and I feel like falling apart,
Wednesday comes and I can't feel my heart.
It's been crumbling and crying all this time,
I stare at the screen waiting for that chime.
Thursday I feel like I can't go on,
My soul reason for living is now gone.
One more day, just one more day,
That's all I can think, that's all I can say.
