We Can Never Go Back

We Can Never Go Back

A Poem by butterfly

Go outside
See the sunlight
you are free
this is the season for goodbye
transitioning to a better world
for not just this girl
Toki with her black and white skin lie breathless and still
No more tricks or flips because she ate her last rotten fish
So don't buy a ticket for the cheap and fake thrill
We will shut down Miami Aquarium ,sea world and this big sea circus
The world may still become darker
With His love and Toki's faithful reminding spirit
 hearts will no longer be hardened
Mercy remains in it
I guess the married people are stuck
Spouses losing the interest in a daily good f**k
Now all are left to hunger
aimless wonder
they dont want to cheat
they want to be reminded of their own heartbeat
but now live without any power
The vows remain for better or worse
there is nothing more except this curse
i see its not love
you are stuck
love doesnt terrify
love doesn't abuse
love takes a stand when its scary to choose
but i can no longer believe in you
my bestie say he dont believe my news
I have cracked before
for he is the only one I truly adored
his kiss is the only one to wake me up
I can leave this bleak world and swim in the sea of dreams
when he kisses me i am weak in the knees
I guess its good to feel it once
even though it just makes you feel so dumb
Oh cupid please make the next a match with everlasting love
the next time you throw an arrow in the hunt
I must stay determined
I cant look back
i take of this arrow so embedded in me
It cracks and out comes the poison in a waterfall sweep
still he is in deep
i called out his name
within the last embers of what was once an eternal flame
like i know he calls mine
in the shower
in our secret hour
for no one else's touch comes with the same power
after our last i bury whatever was deep in the sand
to grow a new flower
I look to the new Toki tattoo on my hand
she will always reminds me life doesnt give you what you want
but sweetly I hear this new command
we can never go back.

You go through your sadness so visually, line by line, tis as if you were rehearsing a role in a tragedy, ad libbing part of the script you cannot or do not want to say.. they're too near the truth. I could almost feel your misery. A powerful poem, butterfly, worthy of a change of mood.

So much sadness in these lines you have penned. Sadly life doesn’t give us all that we want, that is so true. Relationships that don’t work are the cause of much pain and heart ache.

we can never go back

the final line of your poem. A resolve to look forward to the future and happier times. You have ended on a positive. Beautiful poetry butterfly.
