From the outside looking in: thank you mom!! Author: my mother for me

Heart shaped butterfly, you sore upon the wind
Lifted up with each gust, in the calm let down again.
To use your own powers to flutter as you go
Looking over landscapes and people as you go, pointing at you,
Why you just don't know.

Your beauty is a gift for people to behold, and those of us who see and watch as you flutter by like a feather taking flight.
You waif and whirl then sometimes take a rest.
But not for long, a few short gasps and then you're off again.

We...

My heart it bleeds with a desire to be touched
by another heart that cares just as much.
To feel the warmth of a blooming love,
to crave each adventurus day with you close by my side.
Holding me so tight with your strong arms
knowing how to embrace me just right.
The sweet tender kiss you place on my lips.
Like honey dew in the morning sun.
Leaves me to not dare run for
your love and mine has now become one.
One beat
one breath
one not knowing the depths of the deepest seas of royal blue
how I long to hold you.

Rushing...

Helplessly I wonder from wall to wall.
Wondering when each will finally fall.
All I can do is think and hate, hate
myself for causeing my own fate.
Why do I do this to myself. I must
be crazy, will I go to hell?

I pace and pace like a lion in a cage.
Waiting to hear what I don't want to hear.
All I can do is shed a tear.

Fearing the outcome could change my life,
all I wanted to do was be a good mother
and wife.
I need to sleep which causes me to dream.
Dream of what might happen to me, just to
wake up in cold sweets. ...

I followed you,
you ran away!

I begged and pleaded
for you to stay.

You held me in your arms
and said "goodbye"

I knew then and there
I'd begin to cry.

I cried inside,
inside so deep

With a burn that hurt
even while I sleep.

I remember the past when we kissed and laughed,
ran and played, when you told me a story in
the poring cold rain.

It's no longer love
just spite and pain

The love I once knew
is all in vien.

You hurt me once,
you hurt me twice
