Butterflies In My Mind

Strange blurred words come my way

Displaying a sense of comfort so I may stay

In this vast space of light

This strange light wraps me tight with warmth

And to think I’m cold is a sin

I do not see this light

Instead this strange aurora surrounds me

Like the shell of a turtle

Protecting my misguided tangled thoughts

Wrapped around my mind like vines

That swing low in the distance

I climb these vines thinking of those past vibes

Only to see your face

Strange how this light surrounds you too

Turning butterflies into small feelings for you

Smashed inside me like organs

My emotions grow weary for you

I can now feel the strange cold you talk about

Cause when I leave you every day my mind brings back

Those strange vibes

I am no longer warm unless you’re there

And I swear sometimes I stare at your gold hair and what you wear

Only to care for what I can’t keep

And it’s strange how I softly grip my pen and I think

Maybe we can have a moment where we both

Float in that vast space of light that we feel

This strange aurora can surround us both

I can be your shell to protect you

And if those strange sorrows come

Just know I feel them too.
