Butterfly Chaser

Black & blue velvet wings
tangle up in the dusty cobwebs
that lurk in the corners of my heart
the flutterings whisper…
ka-boom. ka-boom.
The colors swirl in the darkness
and our lies build a cocoon.
At the hint of death
someone whispers “I love you”
and the butterfly breaks free
and becomes eternal.
