Butterfly

Butterfly, Butterfly, tell me,

How many other people have you seen?

How many others are there like me,

Sitting alone with ruined self-esteem?

How many faces have you witnessed?
How many cities have you passed?
How many people have you made happy?
How many more days will you last?

Tell me all the stories you've heard,

Are there others who vent to you like me?
Please, answer my question,

I feel all alone, you see.

Wait! Don't go!
Please don't start to flutter!
I'm all alone.

Who else will listen to my mutters?

I haven't finished venting,

I still have all these words to heave,

Please, don't go to another person...

Please... Don't leave.

Just something quick I thought up when a butterfly passed me. I started to wonder how many other people this little insect passed, haha x3

oye! How much i wish i had written it.......
Simplicity gives your poem a tender flow and that is what amazes me....
Butterfly!..... very well written indeed!.....
Thank you really, for sharing this wonderful piece of art....

[Chris Yip]

Simple but well thought thru. Flows well with a bit of rhyming and seems to dwell on people sharing their problems with others. Well done even though it was on the spur of the moment.

This was really amazing...
And your thoughts about the butterfly how many people had it seen..
Amazing idea really ;-)

aww. so touching. it's something that i remember doing during my childhood days. chasing a butterfly and talking to it..
the questions are quite interesting, it made me wonder what it's like to be a butterfly.. :) i also liked that wanting to know those answers. and the emotional ending created the biggest impact on me. brilliantly written.. great job on this! ^_^
