I Am His Butterfly M Q Walters
I am a butterfly
Waiting to spread my wings.
If only in his eyes
I am that and more.
Perhaps an angel redeemed
Or so he whispers
As he holds me in his warmth.
I question the words
Even before he says them
Because and only because
I don’t know truth anymore.
He says, “I love you”
And that I am worthy
Of what it takes to breach my wall.
His touch is pure
It is so hard to keep him out.
He says I am his angel
And sometimes his butterfly
Waiting to spread my wings.
He whispers his love
But I don’t know truth anymore.
