I sit here in the dark, watching my butterfly morph
Her heart slowly comes to a stop, her wings torn
The beautiful shades of color begin to fade away
Turning to black and gray, but on I look, in shame
Afraid to touch her now, she's fragile, she'd break
My eyes water, my lip quivers, spine begins to shake
My beautiful butterfly is slipping away
Her soul, once full of life, is now decayed
Now I'm blind in the day, so I walk the nights
In my hands I hold, my butterfly's case
Seaching for a body for her soul to be placed
Tonight I'll find a moth without a face
Rebuild it's body for my love to be cased
My heart heavy with guilt, so selfish in my ways
Taking another life so my love will re-awake
But will she remember me?
I cross my heart, hoping it wasn't a mistake
Hoping this was for the better, the change
