Love, save the emptiness by =connorish:iconconnorish:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


Those butterflies fly
making you believe
that you're in heaven

And you long for this touch
for those lips
and the voice which will wake you up

When this is the only thing
that makes you smile
the only thought on your mind
you realize

That you feel one of those
butterflies slowly die inside
while you plummet from heaven
to earth

You start to miss this touch
dream of those lips
and the voice which would wake you up

If you were someone different
If you weren't that stubborn
If you weren't the person you've become

And you ask yourself
why you let it take over
why you now feel so empty
like something is missing

You wonder
why you feel this way
while you notice that those butterflies
make you slowly die
before they do

This feeling rips you apart
making you think about
why you let it that close
why you didn't control it
like everything in your life

why

And those butterflies
which haven't died yet
fly out of your stomach
making you gag
when they dance around your lips

You close your eyes
not wanting to think about anything
and when the thought of those lips
crosses your mind
knowing that they didn't touch yours
but others
you want to shout it all out

want it to stop
and yell until you lose your voice
lose control

But before you break down
you realize that this was love
which destroyed you
and that you'd never felt it before

You just missed the classes
where they told you how to deal with it
and then you know that you skipped
those classes on purpose
because you knew it would destroy you
because you never wanted to feel it

Hands covering your face
as the butterflies
make fun of you
making you fall apart
inside and outside
as they purr that
love
saved your emptiness

A very sweet poem. Love it!

Lead us not into temptation for we already know the way pretty well already. Deliver us from evil but not too quickly cuz we'd like to have a look around first. -Cole-

Everything has an end, even the end itself.

"while you notice that those butterflies

"want it to stop
and yell until you lose your voice
lose control"

these are my two favorite parts. This whole poem is fantastic though. Great job.
