"Destruct to Reconstruct"
You gave me butterflies
They flustered at the sight of you
They wanted to be released
But you didn't give them the chance to.
The cage was holding them back for so long,
But they continued to dance.
They continued to kiss my heart and sing their song.
But you sir came along and murdered them all.
Your violent words destroyed them.
You ripped their beautiful wings
And torn them from my heart.
A part of me was missing.
The cage was broken and they were gone.
All that was left was a heart exposed to the cold wet air I can depend on.
You came back.
With their wings mangled and torn
Their vibrant colors all over your hands
But you still came back
You tried to fix things and get rid of the mistrust.
You said things hoping it would change it.
You tried to replace them but they were only moths in the dust.
I can't get those butterflies back.
You cry and scream hoping that they would revive
But they died the day you broke me inside.
Your arms barely mend the broken cage
My heart was devastated by the lose of their lives.
I sat there and cried because not one survived.
My heart tried to bring back what was left of the ashes
But there was not much left
It tried and tried and tried again
You continued your embrace to try and fix and replace but I only had an empty case
I want them back!
I want them back!
Lord! Bring them back!
I know they're gone
but Lord they sang your song.
They loved you the most
And to you they'd draw close.
You put them there
And You gave them life.
Then there it was.
The beginning of a new creation.
A very fragile being
But it was life none the less.
Lord I love it.
But help me protect it
"I will, but it will take time,
it'll take time to reconstruct it."
"Oh little one!"
Slowly but surely
Little by little you grow.
Your wings begin to find its color
Some colors are stronger than others
but that's what makes you, you.
I see you.
Some days you get scared
But I'm always here
I'm here to help you learn.
You're small right now
So don't feel bad.
One day you'll get too big for your case
And you'll be free.
You'll open up
and finally unveil you're gorgeous colors.
Those insecurities will perish
And you'll be free I promise.
I know the outside world is scary,
To take a risk and not know what's there,
To not know what will happen when you leave what you know so well.
I know it's scary
But it's a mystery
and that's what adds the thrill.
An adventure is no adventure if there is nothing to explore,
If there's nothing to find or discover.
Enjoy the world.
Enjoy the view.
Enjoy the adventure.
Explore the unknown.
Don't be afraid to get lost.
Don't be afraid to end up were you've never been before.
Don't be afraid to try something new.
Just don't be afraid.
I'll protect you.
I love you and I promise
to always watch over you.
Your life is fragile
I know that.
But I'm bigger and greater than you know.
You're so precious
And I'll never let you fall.
"Butterfly Kisses"
You wouldn't believe me if I told you how big they have become
And how beautiful they are.
The beat of their wings causes and eruption of emotion inside me.
They seem to be causing the very rhythm of my heart beat.
When the very core of who you are is intertwined with mine.
The butterflies begin to understand the essence of how to fly.
The force of air from their beating wings causes an almost nauseating feeling.
They're beginning to invade every area of my being.
My dreams, my thoughts and my general mind.
They have made a home in the comfort of my bones
And have settled my hope that was lost in my distorted mind.
If only I could hold them
And see the beauty that they have bestowed on my mixed up heart.
To treasure everything they've become and everything they are.
But you seem to know them
You oh so gently caress them and hold them
They find peace in the palm of your hand
And on your lips is where they softly land.
