Dusty Butterflys

you promised not to walk away,

so I built a home for you

inside my heart

Your voice,

your promises, and

your laugh

filled it with life

and love

And now all I hear when I enter is

the echo of

your anger and

your deafening silence

that I never deserved

So I fall to my knees and

I crumble int he corner where

I once dreamt you'd hold me

And I choke on the dust of the

butterflies

that fell from my stomach for you

and the teats that

hailed

from my eyes for you
