An attempt to describe and understand a moment with a friend when she let me see her pain


Butterfly

A shining light
fixed, flowing from and on the beauty of the 'verse, life, love

I thought when I looked away that her shine would continue

Until one day I grabbed her by the hand and she
crumbled,
looked at me with dark eyes and told me
her life was over

And I knew, she is more than light
- but she didn't

I could not hold her, only finally know that I love her

In sadness there is beauty
so too in pain...
But in emptiness
there is only more emptiness

Fly my dying butterfly
fly...
