Suicidal Butterfly Poem by Joshua Amburn

She’s beautiful, as she spreads her wings
To mask the pain from your eyes.
You see the black that slithers through the colors
Like a sunset beneath the marks of night.

She sits there waiting for your heart to break
As it sits upon your sleeve.
Sitting there, so patiently
Waiting and wanting to set you free.

She hovers close, death lingers in her presence
Whispering sweet words into your ears.
Showing you the beauty of her wings
Taking away all your fears.

She begs for you to follow her
Far into the night.
Where she will softly carry you
Away from this painful life.

She welcomes you into herself
As death passes by.
She will hold you safe forever
My suicidal butterfly.
