Irony
By pure chance
You catch my eye
You're not what I'm looking for
Not my mission
But the wings of my heart –
Dormant for so long –
Flutter at the sight of you
What is it about you
That changes the very
Ice-cold core of who I am?
I don't know
I don't care to know
Because the beating of wings in my heart
Is so loud that
It blocks out my logic and my
Desire to understand
But I'm supposed to see
And I'm not supposed to be seen
Although you're not my mission
Or what I was looking for
I break a piece of myself off
Shape it into a butterfly
And send it after you
So not all of me has to leave
Even though I'm leaving now
Now, when I close my eyes,
I can see you
Green eyes catching the light
A smile curving your lips
A laugh raising your brow
Beauty reflected
In everything you do
If I wish hard enough,
I can even see the two of us together
(Even though
I know
That this can never be)
My imagination paints a picture
Using the shade of violet which
Our hair could create
If we were close enough for
The strands to mingle
When I fly on these wings made of paper
I like to close my eyes and see you
Because you have a freedom I don't –
You're free to laugh
And smile
Hope
Dream
Even cry if you need to
Because even though I am flying,
It is only the thought of you that makes me free.
One day,
One day, I swear,
I'll come back for that piece of me I left with you
I'll take it back because I have to
But leaving that butterfly piece of myself with you
Has made me more complete
Than I ever was when I was whole
I was frustrated at two things: 1) a lack of non-porn yuri, and 2) a lack of Konan. So I combined them! I hope you enjoyed "Irony" and, well, please review!
