Poem : Butterfly Jail

Instructions

Butterfly Jail : ------------------- My heart is pounding (pounding pounding) And I am drowning (drowning drowning) And the sea breeze whispers something you screamed on your knees from your bedroom. Time is an illusion. Solitude is inevitable. Spring is an echo. I don't think I'll even try to get myself out alive. And in my prison cell, a butterfly will fly through the bars just for me. Everyday it flutters by, I'll keep squinting my eyes. Don't want too much water to flood these skies. So the colors are blurred. The color of red car lights driving past. "I'm glad you heard." That's the thought that always occurs. My heart is pounding (pounding pounding) And I am drowning (drowning drowning) And the sea breeze whispers something you screamed on your knees from your bedroom. Flutter. Flutter. Flutter. You can't cry underwater. But I'll try. Flutter. Flutter. Flutter. You can't cry underwater. It was always my fault I forgot the sky's song. My heart is pounding (pounding pounding) And I am drowning (drowning drowning) And the sea breeze whispers something you screamed on your knees from your bedroom. Cherry Blossom petals fall down onto my head. Just like negativity seems to rain down on my bed. I have put gun wounds in my mind. Gentle words and proper acts can't alter the fact that it's my fault this time. Step away from this train wreak. A butterfly will show a sun shower during the downpour, I'll laugh 'cause here I am with another metaphor. The light kind of burns my skin, but at least I found the warmth I was looking for. -- And the sea breeze whispers something you screamed on you knees in you bedroom. -- At the bottom of the sea. In a cell ; this butterfly and me. I can hear a shallow breeze, sending me something you screamed. At least I know you're always there. My fate is, at most, fair. I'll be fine holding my breath until I say "hello" to death. The butterfly flew through the bars just for me. Maybe I committed theft. No reason I should have a key. And the sunlight is so nostalgic. We can't stay here much longer. My heart is pounding (pounding pounding) And I am drowning (drowning drowning) And the sea breeze whispers something you screamed on your knees from your bedroom. Flutter. Flutter. Flutter. You can't cry underwater. But I'll try. Flutter. Flutter. Flutter. You can't cry underwater. It was always my fault I forgot the sky's song. ---------------- A butterfly shouldn't die, it condemned me and said, "you're not brave for not being afraid to d!e, you're just more scared of staying alive." A butterfly shouldn't d!e, but it unlocked my cell for me. so the barbwire was washed away the cell door creaked open But the shadows on the wall asking if I want to leave at all. My chest is pounding and I can't breath. I'm afraid. I'm afraid. Of what I'll see. -Dema : 1:05
