The Crow And The Butterfly

Friday, December 18, 2009 at 11:03 PM



I painted my room at midnight


So I'd know yesterday was over


I put all your books on the top shelf


Even the one with the four leaf clover


Man, I'm getting older


I took all your pictures off the wall


And wrapped them in a newspaper blanket


I haven't slept in what seems like a century


And now I can barely breathe


Just like a crow chasing the butterfly


Dandelions lost in the summer skies


When you and I were getting high as outer space


I never thought you'd slip away


I guess I was just a little too late


Your words still serenade me


Your lullabies won't let me sleep


I've never heard such a haunting melody


Oh, it's killing me


You know I can barely breathe..
