Butterflies

by Not Enough   Apr 9, 2009


This ending wasn't meant for us; it wasn't supposed to be this way
I guess forever simply came too fast, I wish the pain could go away
You were the one who stopped my tears, brought a smile to my face
But you were also the one that brought the tears in the first place

For a long time we tried to deny it, but we both know deep down inside;
Somewhere along the road, walking hand in hand, our butterflies died
They crumbled into little pieces and I tried putting them back together
I didn't think I would get over you, But I also thought it would last forever,

I thought I found the one; but I kissed the frog and skipped the prince
My butterflies knew that it simply wasnt right but I just wasnt convinced
They warned me to watch out for scum like you but I said I could tell
I wish I would've listened, for you just weren't ready to catch me as I fell

I didn't want to believe that I could actually fall for someone like you
Because you were the one who killed my butterflies, now I'll kill yours too
You may not believe it but you wont get over me after I break your heart
Youre going to wish that you didnt hurt me, and that we were never apart

This ending wasn't meant for us; it wasn't supposed to be this way
You were the one who was supposed to be hurt but dont worry youll pay
You'll never be able to love again; I'm going to hurt you like you hurt me
So get ready, you're going to perish because payback's a b i t c h, baby

    I really enjoyed this and trust me, I and many others can relate. Although I think your lines may have been too long which might throw some off from reading it. Just something I've learned. Your rhyming was good although I found it a bit forced in some places. Otherwise I enjoyed this a lot! Keep writing
    5/5

    Tehehe i love your poem! i was just browsing and came across yours and let me say that you are talented! the only part that is missing a word is here:

    "They warned me to watch out for scum like you but I said I could tell"
    ^^ you need an "a" between for and scum it broke the flow : /

    but other than that you have a masterpiece i mean it was innocent but devious like a paradox in and of itself! but so clever : ) loved it ! definitely voted for you!!! 5/5
