Butterfly
Caught again in the jaws of the venus flytrap
colors swirl
the acid burns
my wings rip open
my only escape now falling apart before my eyes
i'm so alone
so helpless
my beautiful wings
my only hope
disintegrated within an instant
the acid holds me fast
in the jaws of the venus flytrap

Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other . But what about the rest of us ? What about our stories? Those of us who fall in love alone. We are the victims of the one sided affair . We are the cursed of the loved ones . We are the unloved ones. The walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space. Yes, you are looking at one such individual.

saturn is losing her halo
a fallen angel
of misery
saturn falling out of patterns
almost as many moons
as insecurities
saturn and her unbalanced rings
cuts off her wings
to make herself small
saturn is still an angel
but shes finding the void painful
and she cant see
saturns crushing on the stars
envious of mars
soaks in jealousy
saturn, youre still my angel
take up your halo
ill bandage your wings.
a poem based on an older one of mine :) ill repost the older one so it should be fresh on my account if anyone is curious

okkk waitttt is this anything i typed it up real quick and i am still sleep deprived so y'all tell me
Butterfly pt 3
I'd escaped, or so i hoped
knowing that the longing would still be there
knowing i'd only end up right back in your unforgiving jaw
that you'd only capture me yet again
after all that's happened
you'd think i'd leave
that i'd be older and wiser
that i'd finally give up
the addicting drug
the dopamine that never stays
though you rip open my wings
i always come back
believing i had a choice
again and again and again
caught in the jaws
of the venus flytrap

You taught me the courage of stars before you left
How light carries on endlessly, even after death
With shortness of breath
You explained the infinite
And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist
I couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again
I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen
I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time
That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes
-Sleeping at Last, Saturn

i was afraid of you. you are fear itself
fear through action
the nine - the fire
cooking the mixture
the resistance
the friction
the break
-You have no idea what it'd all be without me - you said
this gratitude bullshit doesn't work with you
you are practical
you want results
I will give you results
The day approaches fast
must get ready, fullfil the pact
be gone for now...

I have no interest in outer space. I couldn’t begin to explain a lightyear. today, I read saturn’s rings are disappearing and couldn’t hold the tears back. every year, another layer of banded dust thins under the sun’s hot breath. even in my ambivalence, even though the planet’s shape is unlikely to change much in the years I’ll live to watch it—however slow nature’s exit, I’ll still ask for one more kiss goodbye.
