catch a yellow butterfly
As I'm standing on the brink.
Choking down my butterflies
so i cant hear them saying what all must think.
sitting on the edge,
imagining if feeling could return.
Trying to stand
but the butterflies still yet burn.
Turning my world from the fire in my chest
to the blue wings that yet rest.
seeing caterpillars in my hair.
Swallowing liquid fire
from the songs they sing
and the forgetfulness they bring.
the calm haze that came
and suddenly its gone.
Falling wing by wing.
Being up so high
then falling down so low.
then I'm laying on my bed
watching my yellow butterflies
fading from my head.
