Butterfly Wishes

"Look, can you tell

she's cutting again.

She almost never

covers her arms

and winces everytime

I grab her wrist

or bump into her hip

 

Can't you tell by  her voice

when she states "I'm Fine"

I don't know if you can

but she's telling more lies

 

Look at her now

she's staring at the wall

she doesn't even touch her food

how far has she gone to fall?

 

Remeber when she was happy

with that sparkle in her eyes

nope its gone

only dark blue and grey

that defines

 

She's abandoning hope

I think she tried to commit suicide

I saw her debating on swallowing pills

more than one time

 

I think it's taking her to far

she's leaving herself "Battle wounds"

They are really just

scars

 

There everywhere

didn't you see them

Hips,ribs stomach, legs

wrists

all over

they cover more than her skin

 

How did this happen

How could she let her mosters win?

She used to try so hard and fight

What changed?

 

Why can't she ever answer my questions

why does she lie to me

She's trying to avoid all eyes

staring at walls while time flys

I'm concerned she has no hope left

but look theres a butterfly

on her upper thigh

it's purple and black

and seems to fly

 

Maybe she's not given up

maybe she has something to fight for

I don't thinks she's done yet

because if shew was we would find her

on the floor

 

She's taking her time

her bitter sweet time

to figured out the riddle

rhyme by rhyme

 

I'll give her some space

and watch close at hand

keep a good eye

and

help her stand

 

 

Butterfly wish

on dandilion tries

ballon eclipses

echoing cries

classic mirage

of a voice once sweet

watch the glitter elixar give hope

on a moment so deep
