PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

What tends to make the butterflies fly

Whenever I see you walking by

It’s a leap for joy and a leap for death

And I always seem to be out of breath

You are the pain that heals my soul

Causing me to lose all self-control

Why can’t I just let me go

Cause it’s hurting more than you’ll ever know

Burning inside, boy can’t you tell

How can you be my heaven and be my hell

Every night I look up to the moon

Hoping this will all be over soon

Why hook me in and reel in the line

Before I knew you I was doin just fine

Have I been cursed with this evil touch

To love and hate somebody so much

What can I do to make you let me go

This isn’t how things are supposed to flow

What can I do to make you set me free

How can I ease this between you and me

This charade has gone on far too long

This entire show just seems so wrong

I could shed tears all over the place

And you still wouldn’t care for the look on my face

How can you be the fire that spins me around

And the gush of water that hold me down

Tell me this now and please be fair

All that I’m saying do you really care

Do you care about the pain I have to fight

Do you care about the dreams I have at night

What can I do to make you understand

The knife you unknowingly hold in your hand

The little dark corner you’ve shoved me in

The secrets you’ve forced me to hid within

Just please let me go, it’s not meant to be

Let me run, set my spirit free
