Inspired by

Butterflyshe comes to me
...and only me
she whispers
it's been so long where have you been
i've been hearing her call
...only to me
for days now
just come out and play
i've been tempted like this before
she runs down the hall
catch me if you can
she says to me
but i can't
i'm too busy treading water
keeping my head afloat
down the river styx
she cries out to me
...and only me
don't go away
i won't see you
i be good and take my medicine
and to me she whispers
...and only me
in a pouty voice why did you do that
i scream i want you
oh god how i want you
but with you i'll die
if only a thousand deaths
she is but a faint cry
please don't do this
don't kill me
and on my wrist i draw
a lone butterfly
