I CRIED A MILLION BUTTERFLIES (Final Copy)

by Ruth Ann Christopher - Not entered

He only said one line.. but it blew my mind..
  My heart ached inside.. and the pain would not hide..
I pressed beneath my ribs.. oh stop it! God forbid!
  but it was too late.. it wouldn't wait..
like a million butterflies.. they went racing up my spine..
  each escaping through my eyes.. into a new disguise..
each became a tear..that I couldn't hide..
  so I cried and cried and cried.. I cried a million butterflies.



 


Reason for writing:

eruption of uncontrolable expressions will appear...one being tears.       rac
