Dissappearing Butterflies

Your love runs cold down my spine,
From the touch I can, no longer feel.
My love has gone away far from my heart,
Within the words you will never say.

I can no longer feel you lips,
Your body isn’t pressed into mine. 

When you found your way into my arms,
Why didn't you tell me you were dying?

I opened my heart for you yet, 
You never had the chance to enter.
You were my love,
Why did you have to disappear?

Seeing you fade away was something I never wished to see,
Your where mine, the only person that completed me.
As I watched your butterflies fly away into the night,
A part of me flew away with them.

The memory I hold of you is not one that would ever go away.
Seeing you smile while in my embrace,
For once in my life, made me feel like I was alive inside.

My tears only fuel the sadness plaguing my heart,
I just want to fall apart.
Maybe if I died as well I would be able to see you again,
Feel you.

However, as I sit in the cold looking up into the sky
I realize that I can still see you.
I can still see the butterflies somewhere among the stars,
Looking down at me with that smile I loved so much.

I will never feel love again,
Only the love you had for me.
I hope wherever you are, wherever the butterflies have taken you,
My love will forever stay.
