Butterflies - Laura Michelle Kelly

Butterflies

They only live a day

But their colours stay

And they remind me

Butterflies

Something so rare and pure

Beauty that can’t endure

The world around me

They remind me

Of all I could have done

The battles that I never should have won

And now you’re gone I wonder why

I didn’t see the butterflies

In you

Now and then

Life gets on top of me

You gave me sanity

Now i can’t see

Butterflies

You’re like an angel lost

Changing the world you crossed

You would find me

And remind me

Of all I could have done

The battles that I never should have won

And now you’re gone I wonder why

I didn’t see the butterflies

In you

Butterflies

Swiftly they fly away

But their colours stay

To remind me

Butterflies

Something so rare and pure

Beauty that can’t endure

The world around me

You remind me

Of all I should have done

The battles that you never could have won

And now you’re gone I wonder why

I didn’t see the buttefly

In you
