Scarlet Butterfly

By CrOsSeD N BoUnD

You flew to me with broken wings
I want to help you change these things
I'll mend your wounds and become attached
Nothing I can do now but hold you back

Now you want to return to him
I want you for myself, but I never win
Fly to the one that you call a friend
I thought I cured you, is this the end

Now I'm the one who needs to be healed
I cant take all of this pain, it's so unreal
I'll rip off your wings to keep you here
Dying alone is the one thing I fear

Fluttering your wings so beautifully
Scarlet Butterfly why cant you see
The love and pain that made me bleed
It consumed my life, just stay with me

Scarlet Butterly you had no clue
I meant what I said I LOVE YOU!

    It is very heart breaking when someone doesn't believe what you say as far as those feelings go and they choose another that does nothing but hurt them over you. Excellant write
