Butterfly Bones

by theresadreamer   Apr 22, 2008


Look at her
Smiling at him
Look at her
happy with anyone

Nothing ever
seems to be wrong
and yet you know
you can see behind
those eyes
the ones that
only seem to laugh

you know she wants
And you want her
to lay her head
on your shoulder
when she wants to cry
but she'd never tell
or let anyone see
that behind those
smiles are tears

As delicate as a butterfly
you want her to be safe
but you can't tell her
you don't want anyone
to know
and you're not sure how
you'd tell her anyway

tell her that you care
and you really just
want to say
you'll be there
when no one else
can be
and tell her that
no matter what happens
no matter what goes on
you'll be here to pull her
through it...

Look at her
so happy
look at her
laugh at herself
nothing seems to
phase her
nothing seems to
daze her
but you just want to
hold her
and what you don't
know is...

This little butterfly
the one you've known
since forever
wants you to notice her
when all you can do
is stare at her
but she doesn't seem to notice
you're both so helpless
you need someone to help you
through this
neither of you seem to get this

She needs you to hold her
hold her gently
you don't want to break her
tell her that she's
beautiful
tell her that you love her

And hold your little butterfly...
