girl in the butterfly wings

girl in the butterfly wings,

why aren't you flying away from here?

girl in the butterfly wings,

do you ever want to disappear?

the world is broken and hurt,

shadows chasing light out of the sky;

bloodstains cover your pink skirt,

yet i never seem to hear you cry.

is there something i can't see?

how much pain do you bury inside?

you could be gone, even free,

yet you choose to stay, suffer, and die.

perhaps one day i'll fathom

why you accept the world as it is;

you'll teach me mind and atom

to let go, return to states of bliss.

for now, i'll just sit and stare

and admire your spirit from afar;

the way you dance without care,

though your shoes conceal a scar.

girl in the butterfly wings,

why aren't you flying away from here?

girl in the butterfly wings,

do you ever want to disappear?
