Butterfly Lines - a collection of love poems and short stories

Resistance.


My senses took flight
along with my will to resist
the onslaught of desire
for one who’s preoccupied (with reason)
by responsibility.

I’m fighting a battle
against loyalty and love,
the pauper and the prince
who’s privileged to have the honour
never meant for me.

I cannot lay claim
to what I never possessed,
there is no gain,
The only option: sever my loss
and I’ll be free.

My senses returned
along with my strength
to break every chain
binding me to nothing
but tormenting misery.

Butterfly.
