Cracked Butterfly

A heart beat flutters by fast 

Almost skipping a beat 

Breaking the rhythm shaped by your feet 

Boom now vs tap - you trip and fall fast 

Fasting further towards freedom 

For forgiveness forces you to 

remain hidden behind hunger 

Until safe to emaciate into an escape 

Metamorphosis and I manifest 

Heightened emphasis on the emptiness
