When I think of you
I can't help but see
Blood like butterflies
And eyes
So cold
Not like ice
For ice can melt
And you never will
I could lose myself
In your eyes
I think I want to
But surrender
Is a luxury I can not afford
I hate you
You've haunted my dreams
I love you
You've tortured my soul
I see you
In a swirl of petals
I feel
Your touch on my skin
Then I wake up
But always
In waking or dreams
Out of the corner of my eye
I see
Crimson butterflies
Dancing on skin
