i love you

Took so long

To say it

Words

Shuddering

Trembling

Fragile inside me

Words

Like a new-born butterfly

Unsteady legs and

Quivering

Slick, wet wings

Kiss the trembling

Colorful

With a thousand shades of emotion

Whispering:

Fly

And tell him

Please

Little butterfly

Soft wings

Rainbow wings

Against your lips

And your careless hand

So very careless

Butterfly

Broken

In a thousand shards

A hundred shards

Of shattered wings

i love you

Words in my throat

Caught, barbed

Painful, broken, crippled

Lost, like a whisper

Don't look at me

Glance

Sorry

Did you say something?

no, nothing important

nothing at all
