Flightless [collab]

by Daylight Lucidity & ThebutterfliesMuse   Jun 28, 2013


When I look into her starlit eyes
Butterflys flutter in my tummy.
My heart seems to fly
Higher then my favourite pet bird.

I feel her stares,
The way they glaze over when I see
Her watching me; her flushed cheeks
Telling of her harmless embarrassment.

I try to hold her nervous hand.
But all she does is pull away.
My mind starts to get sad
And my heart starts to crack.

Her touches shy and faint
I shake my head slightly, sadly,
Backing away and whispering,
"No... You know I can't."

Tears form in the corners of my hazy eyes.
and I run wildly to nowhere at all.
My emotions taking over my body
Depression thoughts pervade through my head.

I call her name, I try to explain,
Her tears a river in which I slip
I love her but not like she wants
Friendship not enough for her frail heart.

I hear my true love call my name
but my ears are deaf to anything but misery.
I begin searching for anything to end this pain
I can imagine myself flying and a smile crosses my lips.

I scream as I follow
Pleading that if she just gave it time...
Tension filling the air drowns out my voice
My heart pounding deafeningly as I watch.

I look at her stern and worried face
but nothing seems to matter anymore.
My heart finally shatters as I fall
and I am broken like a wing of my pet bird.

My sobs wrack my shoulders
My knees denting the soft ground as I drop
I see her lying lifeless, her frown heartbreaking,
As I witness the suicide of a beautifully fragile girl
Who wanted nothing but to give me her love.
