Like A Butterfly Melting Poem by Thomas Case
Like A Butterfly Melting
The night is torn apart;
fractured and shattered by
the memory of you.
Stars shake and die,
and I'm filled with
diesel loneliness,
soul sick, like
a butterfly melting.
Everywhere I go,
I smell pumpkin pie, lilacs,
and sexual energy.
The day will come when
I'll not think of you;
not write a single line about
you- not feel you in the
attic of my mind,
but until then,
the crows peck at my
heart, spring never comes;
ice forms on my brain,
and life inches along like
a filthy worm.
Totally love the imagery in your poem, it adds depth to the pain of your loss, forms a picture in the mind of the reader. Really great poem, thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
