You Broke The Butterfly Wings

by Heather Williams - Libra

You tell me you're leaving 
Going away so soon
To be a proud man
You say you'll be taken care of
But do you know what this does to me?
In the six months we've known one another
You have not realized I am a butterfly
I flew when I met you
You guided me through nets
And trees and big birds
You tell me you're leaving
You broke the butterfly wings

Reason for writing:

    My pain for this comes from my best friend who is leaving 
next month to join the military.
